This is a portable hydraulic press that I designed to straighten the legs of my Firefly when I perform a not to good landing, does not happen too often now.  

   

The unit can be used OFF the Firefly or attached to the leg without removing the wheel and associated parts.  

   

Parts used.  

         5 inch wide channel iron  

         4 ton hydraulic jack, ( Harbor Freight)                     

         I/8 x 1 inch flat iron   

         Heavy duty chain  

         Chain connectors  

         One jack adapter  

         One 1 inch conduit bending tool  

         3/8

jhankin,



Do you have a photo or two of your gear leg straightener, or just the parts list?

Thom, I will try to take a picture of the unit this evening, right now it is 105 here in Georgia right now.  

   

I really wanted to take a picture of it mounted on the gear leg with it attached to the Kolb.

Jimmy,



I know. I follow the weather down there. I'm going to be visiting my daughter in north Atlanta 1st week of Aug. It should help remind me of why I moved north upon retirement. It is hot enough here at only 82F or so.



I appreciate whatever photos you have, or can take at your convenience, of your tube straightening rig.
