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.
