Tony - this looks a lot like mine. Been using it for a long time.
Another advantage is that I don't have to bend over to raise the
plane, just step on the handle. On soft ground you can have an added
advantage - with a plywood ramp shaped like a T. *The top of the T has
enough foot print for the rollers, while the long part of the T is
long enough to roll the gear onto. It helps get the wheel out of the

I just sold my Grob 103 setup with a fuselage jack that worked in a
similar way but also locked to the aircraft for loading onto the
trailer. *Check with Coastal Soaring for *pictures if you want to
build one.

Consider this an extension of the ramp idea.

If a fuselage in a jackable dolly can be rolled completely off the
ramp and about 15 feet away from the tailgate, maneuvering the wing
roots off the trailer is much easier - especially if the ramp is
removed once it is not needed.

If a one-man dolly is to be used, it can be placed ahead of the nose
so the wing root can be swung across in front of the nose and then
walked to the fuselage without the past-the-tail do-si-do otherwise
required. This minimizes wing dolly rolling on rough ground.
