The Gear Jacks are mounted on Gladiator Gear Track so they can be repositioned easily when needed. Two [a href="/GJ-JP-p/gj-jp.htm"]Joining Plates[/a] are used to lock the sections of Gear Track together. Steve Morlock
The Wing Tube Support Brackets are set a different heights to get the wheels of each plane off the ground. The stock 6" lifting tubes were long enough for both. Jon Bruml

Love the gear jacks Michael Parker
Michael was using Gear Legs for his planes but has changed over to Gear Jacks because they're more adjustable and fit better. For this plane he opted for Wing Tube supports. Michael Parker

Very clean setup. Note the angle of the lifting tubes. This lets the Strut Supports to reach down low on the struts for this small plane but then swing up higher and wider for a larger one. Chris Philipps
All jacked up and ready to go. Greg Alderman
Greg attches his Gear Jacks to plywood platforms that slide into his trailer on a shelf. This makes it easy super to load and unload the plane. Greg Alderman
This set up includes a pair of [a href="/GJ-FSA-STD-p/gj-fsa-std.htm"]Fuselage Support Assemblies[/a] on either side of the wing root. A [a href="/GJ-SS-40-p/gj-ss-40.htm"]Soft Strap[/a] goes over the fuse and is fixed to the Fuse Supports using the adhesive Velcro squares that are included with the Soft Straps. Greg Alderman
The nose of the P51 is cradled in a [a href="/GJ-DIY-FSB-16-p/gj-diy-fsb-16.htm"]16" DIY Fuselage Support Bracket[/a] that was bent to match the shape of the fuselage. The DIY Bracket is attached to a [a href="/GJ-HSA-STD-p/gj-hsa-std.htm"]Headless Stanchion Assembly.[/a] Greg Alderman
The tail of the P51 is also cradled in a custom formed DIY Bracket. This time it's the smaller [a href="/GJ-DIY-FSB-12-p/gj-diy-fsb-12.htm"]12" DIY Fuselage Support Bracket[/a] that was bent to match the shape of the fuselage. Again, the DIY Bracket is attached to a [a href="/GJ-HSA-STD-p/gj-hsa-std.htm"]Headless Stanchion Assembly.[/a]. The fuse is secured to the padded 'cradle' with a made to length padded bungee from our [a href="/GJ-BAB-p/gj-bab.htm"]Build-A-Bungee Kit.[/a] Jeff Black
Hi Ray, I bought one of your plane support systems down at Joe Nall. I installed it in my trailer at Nall and it made a 9 hour trip home with no issues. I'm very happy with it. Ron Sormrude
Getting ready for Joe Nall ! Ron Sormrude
Made it without a problem. John Kauk
