I was thinking this thing may come on handy when I want to perform a weight and balance on my plane but this apparatus only lifts 40" high. I cant recall the height of my tail wheel during a W&B calculation. Would this thing get my tail high enough to be level for a weight and balance calculation?

Last time I leveled the airplane I used a 27" bar stool under the tail wheel so I think that it will work.

yea, this bad boy comes in at $350, but it looks very handy to have around. I'll probably end up going another route due to the price.
