I found this write up from Vans that says the proper jacking point for RV aircraft is the tie down point: https://www.vansaircraft.com/faq-technical-builder-items/how-to-jack-up-an-rv/
However, with the removable wings, I wasn't certain that this applies to the RV-12. I am adding the wheel fairings to the RV-12iS and need to remove the main gear tires to install the hardware/brackets. Any best practices tips you can share?
Also, it appears the tire assembly will also require removal from the nose gear leg to install the hardware/brackets. Can I jack at the point where the nose gear leg attaches to the fuselage? Any better suggestions?
