It would be great if we could get a gaggle of Kitfoxes there for the show=2C and if we have a reasonable estimate of the numbers=2C we can arrange for group parking close to John's booth. It would also be fun t o get together for dinner one night during the event=2C perhaps at the bar & grill next to the Arlington seaplane base. http://arlingtonflyin.org/fly ing/Seaplane/?menu=flying%20in Send me an email if you plan to fly your 'fox to Arlington this year and I' ll work on getting parking arranged.

(pair is 46 lbs) What about Alaskan Bushwheel ?? 26" Goodyear U$S 520 each 26" Alaskan U$S 1000 each price difference justify weight difference? FD Brazil, SA ----- Original Message ----- From: jdmcbean Sent: Monday, June 01, 2009 2:28 PM Subject: RE: Kitfox-List: Tundra tires Chris, The Goodyears are nice tires but heavy. We are a dealer for the Alaskan Bushwheel and have a set of the 26" for our aircraft. They are much lighter. I know we are working with them to make a tire that is of the same design but a size between the 800 and the 850. Fly Safe !!

If so, how did you like them? They are made for the blimp operations and I have heard they are pretty stiff even with low pressure. You also have to be careful with really hard breaking because you can rotate the tire on the rim and can snap the valve stems off the tube. They also weigh about 22lbs each. That's 44lbs of tires. Is this worth it? I would also appreciated any comments on 8.00x6 and 8.50x6 tires as well. Also, Alaskan Bushwheel is now making a 26" and 29" tire for light sport aircraft that are lighter then the regular ones the produce. They are called Airstreaks. Anyone have any experience with these tires or the regular Bushwheels? Any feed back would be great. Chris... 2000 Model IV Speedster Great Planes VW 2180 76hp 260 hours.
