        Looking a bit closer, it reveals that Kinner apparently manufactured a

      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:
      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.

      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 with David's experience, so with mine.  NX41CC
      has 6.00x6 on the main gear, with hydraulic brakes
      straight off an older Cessna 172.  I operate off
      of grass whenever possible and I love the way
      the Piet flies off of grass with this setup.  I
      know that the people who have motorcycle-type
      wheels have things a little bit different than
      we who have fat tires and spring or bungee gear,
      but they both have their pros and cons.
      
      I prefer the slightly larger and fatter tires
      for appearance as well.  The smaller ones seem to
      be out of scale for the airplane.
      
      The brakes on the airplane work very well in all
      conditions, readily hold the airplane during static
      runup, but are not overpowering for the 1080 lb.
      gross weight.

      I also have Cleveland brakes off (I believe) a 172, but I have 21"
      motorcycle rims.  I use the Matco MC-4 master cylinders, which have a piston
      diameter of .625".  I believe 6.00 x 6 Cleveland brakes have a 2" diameter
      piston (don't remember exactly), which would mean a 50 lb push on the master
      cylinder would generate a hydraulic presure of 50 /( p(.625)2/4) = 163 psi.
      When this pressure is applied to the brake caliper, it generates a force of
      163 x (p(22/4)) or 512 lbs, so you get about a 10:1 advantage.
      
      With the tall wheels, I find my brakes are adequate for stopping and to hold
      it for a runup, but they can't hold it against full power.

      Oscar (or Corky),
      
      Where'd you get your shoulder harness for 41CC?  Specifically, I'm 
      interested in that quick-connect clip attachment that you connect to the 
      disk on your cross-braces.
      
      ACS has these Y-harnesses, but they don't have this clip...
      
      Thanks,

      There are varying claims out there as to the effectiveness of the Stromberg
      mixture, but it generally seems to boil down to the fact that it doesn't
      quite function like "normal" mixture controls that you may be accustomed to
      ,
      and that it's effects occur more gradually.
      
      You might consider spending the extra money to get a Marvel Schebler
      MA3-SPA, if you plan on frequent manipulation of the mixture. It should hav
      e
      a more "positive" mixture control, and you get the added benefit of having
      an idle/cut off. You also save on the cost/time of purchasing and installin
      g
      a primer, due to the Marvel having an accelerator pump. With that savings i
      t
      doesn't end up being that much more expensive than the Stromberg....

      I checked into this a while back both in the archives on this forum and in correspondence
      to the Brodhead Pietenpol Assoc.  What I found is recommended up elevator
      is 20 deg. and down elev. is 20 deg. to max of 30 deg.  IE 20 up and 30
      down.
