Subject: | Re: Tires and Inner Tubes |
Boyd have you figured out how much it will cost to ship those tires? I am very
grateful to you for your kind offer.
I fully understand that you are providing me with a used, and possibly unusable
set of tires, to use at my sole risk, and without any guarantee they will work
safely. I further understand that the use of these tires, and the safety of
the aircraft with these tires installed, is completely at my risk and is completely
my sole responsibility. I understand that the tires did not work for your
aircraft, that they may not work for my aircraft, and that I am responsible
for determining if, how, and when these tires can or cannot be safely used on
my aircraft.

The old matco was split
rim and has a tubeless option. The new style matco
rims don't have a temp place for the oring while bolting
together the halves. You may have to bolt it together,
then stretch the oring over a half. But I don't see
a reason it won't work.

Subject: | tundra tires - balanced |
After my last test flight with the tires at 4 lbs of air, and the
subsequent shaking, I decided to balance them. I took a couple of long
steel bars 1x1/8 and bent the ends 90 degrees so that I could secure
them to my work bench. Spacing them far enough apart to allow the tire
to spin freely. I made a bearing rod that would fit securely in the
bearings and sat the tire on the bars. It was no problem finding the
spot where the tire needed weights.
The little flat stick on weights are pretty expensive and I had used
all I had, but I had some "wad cutter cast lead bullets" that weighed
3 to the ounce. I reasoned that it wouldn't take too many and I could
hold them in place with hot glue. One of the tires was no problem, but
the other one I think was out of round, and by the time I balanced it,
( it took about 6 ounces) it was ugly. Then the weather closed in
again.
Today the wind finally relented, so I got to fly today. The tires
really felt nice, no shake, and with the four pounds of air it like
landing on pillows.

Forgiving is tough. Being forgiven is wonderful.
