Hi JOhn,
A very neat design, but wouldn't work with leg fairings in place and requir
es a certain amount of expertise and time to manufacture. The axle hole sol
ution is very simple and cheap, and gets the wheel off completely in a matt
er of minutes. Either way, it is useful to have a means of changing a wheel
when touring.

To supplement the taildragger modification we have developed (apologies to
those who await more information on this topic), we developed a clamp on ja
cking stand. The problem with using the axle hole is that you cannot get t
he wheel and brakes completely off the aircraft.
We have a design that clamps on, using the slight taper (of the original Eu
ropa legs or the Acroflight ones) to ensure it doesn't slide.
Picture attached.
It can be used with a trolley jack or small bottle jack.
