To supplement the taildragger modification we have developed (apologies to those
who await more information on this topic), we developed a clamp on jacking 
stand.
The problem with using the axle hole is that you cannot get the wheel and
brakes completely off the aircraft.

We have a design that clamps on, using the slight taper (of the original Europa
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.
