MBDiagMan Posted March 14, 2018 Report Posted March 14, 2018 I am coming up on annual and will do it in my hangar. I would like to invest in a set of Jacks, but I hate to lay out $700+ from aircraft spruce. What kind of economy hpjacks have you bought or fabricated? I am a good fabricator/welder if anyone has any suggestions. Quote

bradp Posted March 15, 2018 Report Posted March 15, 2018 Seems like the alpha aviation commercially sold jacks also use electrical conduit for stabilization. Who build the bottle jacks with locking “jack stand” floating above and had a CAD design. Those looked to be the best example of an improved jack design. Quote
StevenL757 Posted March 15, 2018 Report Posted March 15, 2018 +1 on Alpha Aviation. I have three of theirs, and am happy with the functionality. Not the most expensive, and there are probably better ones out there, but using them for the past 5 years, they've held up great. Steve Quote
