Tim,
Great post! You brought back memories of the 3 weeks we spent at the sheep station
at FlyInn Tours in NZ 10 years ago. We hiked Abel Tasman and drank beer
in Motueka. Heather landed and parked at the Air NZ gates at Christchurch. I
landed on a beach and in a farm field. We ate lots of ice cream seems like at
every airport! Great vacation!
Jim

Chris,
After learning what Pete Z. and Ron P. were doing with the Powerslide wh
eels I ordered one from InlineWarehouse.com to give it a try. I have si
nce ordered a second one.
https://www.inlinewarehouse.com/search-inline.html?sort=no&start=0&c
ount=30&searchtext=Road+warrior+
I wasn=99t too keen on the imbalance the valve stem creates and ca
me up with a novel solution. After Pete Z. confirmed he runs his tires
close to 10 psi, I realized I could replace the tube with thick wall 8mm
silicone tubing. The silicone tube gives just the right amount of squi
sh and retains the tire to the rim, and I don=99t have to worry ab
out a flat.
In full disclosure, I have only performed aggressive ground maneuvers to
verify the suitability of the silicone tubing. Hope to test fly the ne
w wheel once I remake the wheel fork with slightly different geometry to
allow the larger tire/wheel to fit in the wheel well better. It fits f
ine while testing it on the ground, however, I suspect with wind loads i
t will have an issue retracting fully into the wing.
Regards,
Erich

Hi Everybody....
I am at the firewall forward stage of my Europa classic build , and its going
ok.
But could do with a little help with the radiator hose placement . If anybody
as photos of the routing of the hoses I would be grateful . I think I see how
it goes but a little reassurance would be nice .
Cheers Darren

So a quick update on my foam-filled outrigger wheel performance. They are
balanced well enough, but without any air pressure I do find the tire does
slip on the wheel from landing wheel spin-up - which would make balancing
interesting. I figure if I needed to balance exactly, I would attempt a
'bead-lock' using strategically placed wood-type screws. Haven't gone there
yet. Their awesome bearings allow the wheels to spin up in flight (not
great), but my simple/light/cheap rubbing fender appears to have eliminated
that.
That said, I am extremely happy with their performance, much better wear,
light weight (less G-streses on the outrigger and flap), elimination of the
'hammering' of the outrigger mechanisms when using the hard stock wheel on
tarmac, and quietness (totally silent/drowned out by the tailwheel noise).
Cheers,
Pete

Hello Pete,
I copied your =B3pool noodle=B2 Powerslide filled wheel idea and note your
slippage issue.
In other applications, I find that regular clear bathroom silicone sticks
anything to anything if it is dry and then not only sticks it well but
waterproofs the thing.
It can be removed with a blade if you need to get it off later.
Perhaps that may be a better way to secure the wheel to the rim rather than
screws which might create another imbalance =AD it will also stop water
getting in ?
I already used black silicone to plug the valve hole.
Still some way off from flying my Europa but looking out for neat ideas lik
e
this.

Only cuz the tube stem creates a bad imbalance, which requires Ron-sized efforts
to correct.

Peteahathanksand BTW, Im quite satisfied with my 100 mm skateboard wheels w/ ABEX
9 bearingsnot sure of their hardness but quiet and very low rolling resistance...my
outrigger rods may be a bit longer than spec as I experience teeter-toddering
only on taxiways with a high crownthey will not last forever...F.
