Has anybody come up with a good way to jack up the mains on the -10 without taking the axle nut off and using something like Avery sells? For most cases that works fine, but it would be nice to have another good way to do it.

I saw something on vans air force, it was a bar and cable device. I have not seen it in use, but looked like it would work.

I use a Harbor Freight 24" bottle jack. I grinded the top of the piston to match an adopter (purchased form van or Avery) to fit the jack. This adopter is 1/2 sphere and screws into the wing tie-down with the eyebolt removed. I had to make a wooden base for the bottle jack for stability. It kinda looks like the jacks you see at FBO repair shops and lifts the wing.
Sorry I cannot be much more specific about the adopter. At my age.....memory does not serve me well.
If you decide to go this route and need a picture of the adopter, I will happy to supply you with one.

Jesse,
I borrowed a couple of jack stands from the hangar next door and jacked the
wings up at the tie down points. Worked well to get the mains off the
ground while fitting the wheel and gear leg fairings. Alex DeDominicis
sells a jack for the RV-10.

I just jacked mine up this past weekend to rotate the tires on the rims because the outer tread on the tires was almost completely wore off while the rest of the treads were almost new. I borrowed a set of jack stands that they use for certified birds like Piper Arrows and was going to jack it up using a bolt in the tie down ring, but I was worried that with the span of these on the 10 it may not be able to handle the force. So I used the stands under the center section spars on the fuse with a ½” board between the jack stands and the center section spars. This worked great. Once the plane is painted I would just make sure to have foam or something on the board to ensure not to scratch the paint.
Thank You

I built these: http://www.myrv10.com/tips/generaltips.html
(see about 1/2 way down)
If someone's gonna own an RV-10 long term, they may as well
prepare by having the tools. Just used them last week
so I could replace my brakes, and I swapped the tires
on the rims from side to side (keeps the same rotation),
but I had to jack up both wheels at the same time.

On the -9A I use an ATV/Motorcycle jack that I bought at Harbor Freight. I made a wooden "truss" to take up the space between the jack and the plane. By placing it directly under the main spar I can lift the entire plane with just a pump of the lever. I normally only raise it about an inch or so.

Thanks for all the input. I hope this has helped others as well. I talked to Van’s and they confirmed that the tie-down support is the preferred place to jack from, so we will do something like Tim has done.

I don't know if the -10 uses standard threaded tie-down anchors or
not, but Mooney and I believe some other aircraft have threaded
jackpoints that are installed in place of the tie-down rings whenever
jacking is necessary. The underside of the jackpoint is milled conical
so that it mates right up with a standard aircraft jack, while
allowing relative freedom to pivot on the point while leveling or just
jacking one side.

It is threaded. Handy spot. As far as handling the load of
the plane, if the plane can't lift itself by the wings, and
handle that 1G, I'd be a bit worried about how it would handle
4G's.
