No Ryan, that's the Australian Kinner.

Looking a bit closer, it reveals that Kinner apparently manufactured a
reverse rotation engine! I never knew that.
How the original image would have looked, before the graphics wiz
"horizontal flipped" it:

Hi...looking in to what wheel and brake combo to use. I have decided to go with
the 800-6. Looking at the Matco variety on AS&S. Can someone explain the Static
Load figures and the Load limit figures? What Part number are other builders
using? I intend flying off a grass strip so am going for the larger tyre. Also
what are the pros and cons between hydraulic and cable brakes?
Sorry for what probably sounds like a mundane question but im stumped!

I don't know if I said this already, but if I am off for those days
(won't know until mid-may) and the weather cooperates, I will be there.
May bring the Travel Air or, if Frank P. needs help . . . .

Hey Shad,
I'm planning to be there. I'll probably show up Friday evening and
tent it then head out late Saturday afternoon. I talked to Frank P. a
few days ago. I mentioned the Fly-in to him and said he thought he
could make it. He wasn't sure which Piet he'd bring, either the Model A
or the Lambert, but he said he wants to come. Should be fun!

Well, sometimes those "graphics wiz"es have perfectly good reasons for flipping
the images. In this case, it seems pretty obvious. If you look closely at your
"correct" version, you'll see that all the words are backwards. I can't even
read that thing. :)

I've operated my Cessna 180 for decades with 6:00-6 tires, frequently off of
grass strips. Even a beach one day, and often at gross weight (2,550
pounds). I've landed off-airport on a mesa a few times as well, keeping a
keen lookout for prairie dog hills.
No problem.
For an alternate opinion, see this:

Go for the hydraulic breaks. If they are sized right, they'll give you
smooth, solid braking with minimal maintenance.
Static load is the load on the tire while the plane is standing still on the
ground. Limit load is the maximum load encountered during a landing.

Well, the weather isn't exactly cooperating. I still need 1.5 more
hours to fly off my Phase 1. The winds haven't been exactly
cooperating, and its just not much fun when its too windy. The last 2
times I flew I really was getting bounced around at altitude. I flew a
while on Friday afternoon, and it was blowing 3 kts right down the paved
runway (33) when I took off. A little over an hour later it was blowing
080 at 10 gusting to 15. I was able to put it down on the grass runway
04 with only a slight ballooning on flare. I'm taking my wife for a few
nights in a condo at the beach to make up for leaving her for 3 or 4
days while I'm at Sun-N-Fun. If the weather is acceptable on Tuesday, I
should be able to fly over on Wed. AM, otherwise I'll just drive. I
really don't want to miss out on the wing repair forum. Hope to see
some of you there, even if my Piet doesn't make the trip.
As my wife frequently says "Its really tough to be Ben Charvet"
