| Subject: | Main monowheel tyre |
Hi,
I've acquired yet more wheels and tyres and so need to decide on one.
Given a choice of the following main mono tyres, which do the 'mono-drivers' on
this list recommend?
a. 7.00-6 McCreary Air Trac, 6 ply
b. 8.00-6 Titan Turf Glide, 4 ply (this appears to be identical in appearance
and spec to the Carlisle 'Turf Glide' so I guess Carlisle took on the production).
My guess is to stick with the McCreary that has already been recommended. What
do others think?

Hi Phil,
FWIW, I have used a McCreary Air Trac, 7.00-6, 6 ply with very
satisfactory service. Total time is 520 hours over 5 years and
approximately 760 landings. The majority have been on asphalt with just
a few on grass. I keep my tire at 18-20 psi. Higher pressures tend to
make for 'squirelly' landings on asphalt. I will be replacing the tire
with an identical tire when I do my annual in a month or so because of
uniform tread wear. The grooves are still showing but there not much to go.
It is possible that you may have trouble with clearance in the tunnel if
you use a larger tire. Also, I do not think the Turf Glide was designed
for aircraft use and wear may be a problem.
Cheers, John

I use the same tire on my EA81 powered mono, very happy with it so far. I
might be
inclined to try a McCreary 8.00 x 6 if I knew it would fit and get a smidgen
more ground
clearance, maybe even allow a 68" prop for more efficiency.

Hi Glen
I have a 800 - 6 in my mono. It was a tight fit.

Hi Tom - What tire pressure do you use and have you experienced any rubbing
on undercarraige components? Did it give you any more prop clearance?
Inquiring minds yada yada!

Hi All,
For those of you that have the classic FWF, and it may apply to XS too, when
you brought the supply and return fuel lines through the top of the tunnel
and thru the F/W, did you immediatly turn 90 deg. upward or straight on
thru? I am ordering some fittings. Need to know if I need straights or 90
deg.after penetrating forward. Mine will be clamped to the top of the
tunnel and going through GS firewall mod.

Hi Glen
Hmm, not quite flying yet so can't answer some Q's. No rubbing with
retraction. Prop clearance difference? Don't know because I didn't have a
prop then but geometry says that it must be increased! Tire pressure? I'll
probably start out with about 18psi. Have you other suggestions?

Figured I would share with group a good reason to consider not using
Automotive Racing Teflon hose with Stainless braid even though it is
cheapier and looks very similar.
http://www.sacskyranch.com/statichose.htm
I was wondering just why Aeroquip 666 had a black conductive coating on
the ID of the Teflon.

Hi Tom - The mono with the 8.00 x 6 could be slightly easier to land (its
very easy now and
I'm a very low time tail dragger pilot) with a little higher deck angle.
This should allow the a/c to be
more stalled when the main wheel contacts which could reduce the minor
bouncing you get if
you land a little too flat. Its not even a problem now, its just the
technique you learn. If you
find yourself bouncing your landings, you just didn't land with the tail
quite low enough. I rarely
get any bounce at all except maybe in gusty conditions.
Does it look like the tire could contact the landing gear frame in a
slightly sideways landing?
How much clearance is there at 18 psi?
