This is NOT a double acting cylinder which could be extended and retracted hydraulically. This one will most likely only lift the designated 2t on the first stage, which is still way more than needed in this application here. Uli 'AS' |

Uli 'AS' The lift height you will need depends upon what is needed to extend the gear fully and still clear the ground. This is glider dependent, but will likely be more than what the first stage can produce. And, more importantly, it has a lower profile to allow the fuselage dolly to be well below the glider's nose. This is critical for positioning the glider to be jacked up. Again, this depends upon the individual glider's ground clearance. Tom |
