From: "bubbleboy" 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'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!

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. :) Bill Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=293837#293837 ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 08:31:20 AM PST US From: "David Paule" Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Can someone explain brake ratings please? 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: http://www.bentpropproductions.com/ 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.

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.
