From: "n7188u" Peter, never heard of the outrigger spinning bit before and its very interesting. Im battling vibration and whistling at high speeds and this could be one thing for me to try.

Flew up to Takaka from Rangiora, (Google) beautiful weather, airline type fl ight, 7500ft direct, no controlled airspace, no bumps, no cheese and biscuit s, 1 hour 20mins with my wify! Not the air hostess! Had a swim at Ligar Ba y, and saw relatives then back via Abel Tasman National park, beat up Kayake rs along the coast, not above 500ft, to Motueka, St Arnaud and Lake Rotoiti, Rainbow Valley through Hells Gate, Island Pass, Lake Tennyson, Hamner and b ack across the Canterbury Plains to Rangiora. 3.1 hours in total, what a joy . Beautiful high pressure system to cross the Alps at Mt Una. When to spread ashes of my brother-in-law at Ligar bay with family which, if we had driven would have taken us 7 hours each way, overnight, food ..well you do the maths. 15 litres per hour. EUROPA is such a great touring aircraft.

From: "h&jeuropa" Pete, When we started our test flying we had the 8.00 tire that came with the kit. We also used 18 psi as per the manual. When we did testing at 1450 and 1500 lbs, bolts on the brake caliper rubbed the side of the tire, made a nice round groove in the sidewall! Hence the change to 7.00! We never tested the 8.00 tire with more than 18 psi. Perhaps it's fine with higher pressure.

Indeed Im typically running at 23psi.. no caliper groove, just a mark. Likely the difference then i guess :) Cheers!
