Hello Steve, Sorry for the late reply -- my ISP put a couple of your emails
in the Junk Mail folder and I just found them. I have added you to my
address list so maybe that won't happen again.
Here is what I do when I just want to lift the nose wheel off the ground for
maintenance purposes:
1) Place a low sturdy sawhorse under the tail and place a chunk of foam
rubber on the saw horse to cushion the bottom of the fuselage in the tail
area. A sturdy bucket may serve the same purpose as the sawhorse.
2) Place a folded bath towel on each side of the horizontal stabilizer right
next to the fuselage to protect the paint job.
3) Place weighted bags on both of the towels to force the fuselage tail down
onto the cushioned support and the nose wheel up into the air to work on.
I used to use 50 pound bags of limestone (which I would also use to weight
down my pickup truck bed in the winter), but now I use a bunch of doubled up
one gallon slider top plastic kitchen bags filled with sand. Much easier to
handle.

Hi Owen,
Thanks for the help. What's the best way to lift the nose wheel in order to
check the nose wheel?
Thanks!!
Steve
