Subject: | Re: 8.5 X 6 tires on a Kolbra |
Attached is a picture of my aircraft with 21x7x8 shaved ATV tires on it. The rims
are matco 8x6 rims. You can buy the tires from Dressler tire. I chose this
instead of going the Nanking (nanco) 21x12x8 way because I felt I did not need
the 12" of width (the ones I used are only 7" wide). I ran the tires without
tubes and the set up was fairly light. This solution is more expensive than
the complete set up being offered because of the cost of the matco rims.

Kolbers:
I have had good luck with Air Trac 800X6 aircraft tires on
my MKIII which flies with a GVW of 1200+ lbs.
They handle gulf coast dry sugar beach sand, mud, rough
fields, tall weeds, sand and gravel bars in the rivers, and
pavement well. They are trued and balanced to 120 MPH prior
to leaving the factory.
If I am going to be flying primarily on pavement and
improved sod, I fly with about 10 PSI. If I am
contemplating some serious off field work, I drop them down
to 4 to 6 lbs.
I tried 800X6 tires on my original Firestar. Quickly
discovered the 15X6X6 lawn mower tires were all I needed to
do my kind of flying off field.
My main concern is to have enough floatation not to nose
over in soft sand and ground.

Subject: | Re: Aileron trim tab |
Aileron trim tabs are good and will hide the effects of poorly rigged
wings but why not fix the wing rigging.
>>>>>>>>>>
some wings are built straight,,,, and depending on if the prop turns
clockwise or counterclockwise, determines the trim tab direction. a lot
of the trim tab correction is the torque of the engine, and if the
manufacture does not know which direction the prop turns, he will design
the wings for straight and level in a glide..... if for example all the
props were to turn the same direction, mods to the wings can correct
for the torque.
example. when I first built I re rigged my wings so it would fly hands
off... while in the air one aileron was down and the other up.... I
rigged it back to my first configuration... added the trim tab, and
now the ailerons are both even with the flaps. so pick your own / best
configuration and go with it.

Sounds interesting, but a picture is worth a thousand words.
