No time to mount them right now, but here are a couple of pix of how the 8.00x6s look next to the 6.00x6s. I've got the weights of both new and existing tires and tubes and will look at what effect it might have on W&B, but other than bumping up the empty weight a bit, it shouldn't change much. I'm keen to fly them to see how she lands with a bit steeper deck angle. -------- Oscar Zuniga Medford, OR Air Camper NX41CC "Scout" A75 power, 72x36 Culver prop Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=473387#473387 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/newtires2_104.jpg http://forums.matronics.com//files/newtires1_197.jpg ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 08:49:44 PM PST US From: "(null) raykrause" Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Re: deck angle Oscar, The larger tires certainly look better! But be aware the you will be going a LOT slower with all that additional drag! Maybe you could fill them with water (as in tractor tires) to get some extra weight up front....but you're not tail heavy? Ray Krause SkyScout coming along s-l-o-w-l-y!
