Well to tell you the truth I was in about the same condition for experience. I
am using standard old 6:00 X 6 tires on my GN-1.( and I do mean old-take-offs
from the pile out back of the hangar picked out for light weight and ancient old
drum brake wheels I got for 50 bucks-how long are you gonna roll anyway? )
set up on Cub gear. I don't know if you would find 2 Piet style airplanes that
sit exactly the same but it is unlikely due to so many factors from size changes-
length, width, Cabane heights etc. but the airplane is a docile forgiving
design and as long as you stay in the ballpark you'll be fine. I have a friend
who let me get a little tailwheel time in his Glassair with a 2 blade controllable
prop on a 180 horse engine. that thing sits so close to the ground you
really gotta stay on top of it- push the stick forward just a little hard and
the prop tips are hitting the runway but man that thing is fast! ( and he has
it for sale) but he was brave for sure. don't over think this tire thing. what
someone said a long time ago on the site still applies. which Piet is the fastest?
- the one that is finished and flying.have a Merry Christmas and enjoy the
process. Raymond.

Try any local paint store. I bought a gallon here in Texas at either
Kelly-Moore or Sherwin Williams years ago for $8. People commonly use
it to etch their iron fences, etc. here before painting. In fact,
that is what I did with most of it. Brush it on, or carefully use a
little hand squeeze sprayer. Clean up well around kids or pets.
Merry Christmas to all,
Tim in central TX

John, one of the posts in response to yours was a reference to the
Carlisle "Turf Glide" tires, 8.00x6, which have an outside diameter
of close to 18". Info here:
http://www.carlisletire.com/products/golf_gliders/turfglide/index.html
These are the tires that are recommended for use on the airplane
that I'm building, the Flying Squirrel. Quite a few other light sport
and ultralight aircraft use these. I only have two concerns with them:
(1) the catalog shows them rated for golf carts and utility ATVs, which
are certainly not going to be running at anything like our landing
speeds of 55-60 MPH, and (2) load rating is 420 lbs., which means a
pair of them should be good for 840 lbs., and we fly our airplanes at
up to 1100 lbs. gross weight. They will see more load than that on
a good firm landing or a bounce.
Granted, the manufacturer rates them conservatively for purposes of
lawsuit avoidance, so they are probably just fine for this duty. The
proof would be to mount them and go fly. At least one post in reply
to your question was from a guy who has been flying with these tires
for a good amount of time.

Okay, so this doesn't directly address the issue of metal primer,
but it may be that if you use some of these metal treatments, you
may decide not to put any other finish on them. Besides the Naval
Jelly phosphate treatment, there are things like rust bluing and
cold bluing that may be of interest.
The one that I have used and like pretty well in locations where
the part will not be visible (or where you want the zinc chromate
look) is green rebar epoxy. There are several manufacturers,
Krylon is one, but the one I've used is Aervoe. I just did a quick
search and places like toolauthority.com have it for $6.25 for a
16 oz. spray can.
I don't think it is intended as a primer, since it has a fairly
smooth cured surface.

Well, they say, "Laziness is the Mother of Invention." They don't say that?
Well..they should! I definitely did not want to crawl under my wing every
time the need arose, so I came up with this simple contraption..
Let me know if you want any more pics or descriptions..
Merry Christmas
