Stephen dolly 1.
Another approach is the "mini dolly":
http://www.scassel.se/europa/dolly1.jpg
http://www.scassel.se/europa/dolly2.jpg (aircraft level)
The dolly is attached on one of the strongest part of the fuselage, i.e. where the cockpit-module, fuselage and firewall are bound together.
It is important to create/mould the support blocks on the fuselage in order to fit perfect.
Between the support block and fuselage is quite hard rubber. Each support block has 5 mm bolt through the fuselage, just in case.
After 5 years of use (also during the finishing of the kit ) the fuselage has not moved a fraction of mm from the dolly.
The dolly should be made with full tank (max load) and a piece of wood 2" under the wheel, see picture otherwise you can not operate the landing gear properly in level, see pic
You also need a tail wheel support, see pic I use my "mini-dolly" one every service. Even 50 hours service. I can check flaps/landing gear/outrigger ++ very easy.
Please feel free if you need any offline info.
