• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

I found this in the hangar yesterday, forgot I had it from my Pitts days. I wondered if any of you are using one of these. Very handy, and very easy to make. Tubing is 1-1/4" diameter, handle 22" end-to-center, and height whatever is needed to get your tire off the ground. The top piece is a section of round tube that fits the outside contour of the axle stub, and has a little bit more on the forward side as that is what helps grab the axle and lift it up as you push the handle down. The bottom plate is 3/16" thick x 4" x 6". Maybe everyone already has one, but I thought it might be useful for those who don't. As you can see in the pic, it is too short for my airplane.
