Claudio,
I used 21" to build my jacks. With everything set on the bottle jacks and
the stand set to it's smallest or lowest dimension, I can get the tires off
the ground. I don't have any idea how compressed the TK5s get. With 21" I
can get the jack under the plane and I have enough throw on the jack to get
the tires off the ground no matter what. I hope this helps some.

Right now I have the landing gear installed so I can measure the
distance from the jack point to the bottom of the tire and that is about
23"
but I know that number is not a realistic one. I wonder how many inches
will
the TK5s (I won't use the donuts) compress once the airplane is ready to
fly, or full of fuel. There is got to be an average number out there,
don't
you think? Thanks.
