One of my hangar partners bought one (Gojack 4100, I believe) for
their Discus 2. They didn't use it much (I don't know why). I tried it
on my Boomerang. The clearances to fitting it under the fuselage were
non existant till I modified where the castor mounting bolts stick up.
The clearance now is miniscule and the jack is useable, but it isn't
great. I will probably end up making a fixed track and trolley
system.
Here's some dolly ideas I have seen about the place. The bottle jack
arrangement in Turnau was the best I have seen as a free wheeling
dolly.

I have heard that these don't work well with small diameter wheels of
gliders. Also need to be sure they clear glider's wheel doors.
