A good and workable formula that worked for me was to take the gross weight
and knock of the last two digits. i.e. 1550 lbs use 15 lbs pressure and
check it once in a while! Formula for 6.00 x 6" only!

Had My first Meeting with the DAR for Virginia Yesterday. I also got an
education about buying a kit that had been damaged and built by another person.NTSB
wrote the aircraft off as a loss but the airframe was repairable. If
Richmond, VA, FISDO doesn't agree with the fact that this aircraft has to be totally
rebuilt, I will only be able to get an Exhibition Category cirtificate.At
present the right wing has to be rebuilt, all controls have to be installed,
everything including the one good wing has to be covered and painted, Instruments,
and the complete engine installation.
I did get lucky there are only two DAR's in VA and this guy lives 2Mi. away.
He did take Pictures to submit to FISDO to try to get them to agree that the
aircraft will need 51% of the Manufacturing work done to get it flying (Got my
fingers Crossed) Hope someone out there reads this and learns. Buy it flying
or a NEW kit, I think the guy that said "I'm from the FAA and I'm here to help
you " got fired. Wish me luck. I either have a Kitfox "KIT" or a hellva a lot
of Kitfox parts for sale!

That is a good idea and should work for most tires.

This may not work on lightly loaded planes - ie my Lite2 at 1200lb gross. I
ran lower pressures last year (12-14psi) and I had a tube spin on landing
which caused an instant flat. Mow I run no less than 15lbs just in case.
