I replaced them with Goodyear FClll's at that point and now have about 360 hours on the FClll's and estimate that they will need to be replaced in another 100 to 150 hours at the current rate of wear. I rotate and reverse them every 100 hours or so to even out wear. I also installed low leak tubes when I installed the GY FClll's and now have to add 1 or at most 2 psi every month or so instead of 4 or 5 psi every few weeks as I did with the original tubes. As I recall I paid about $120 each for the FClll's vs about $35 at the time for the lowest price brands from Desser. I will replace these with FClll's when the time comes. I'm on the second set of brake pads (Rapco) now at 460 hours and will probably have to replace these in another 100 hours or so. I average about two landings per hour and sometimes brake aggressively to make an early turn off but otherwise try to stay off the brakes as much as possible. -- Harry Crosby RV-6 N16CX, flying - 460 hours -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: "Garry" > > What kind of hours are folks getting on tires and brake pads?

Glen takes a piece of documentation that's clearly for LSA (as he so kindly pointed out) and wants to apply it to ALL experimental aircraft to justify the stupid .... yeah, I said stupid .... position that you don't have to heed the ADs. For what purpose??? Who needs a specific directive on whether ADs apply to experimental aircraft???? Doesn't common sense suffice as a reason??? The FAA doesn't appear to want to enforce the ADs .... which makes it a moot point if you ignore the AD that makes your butt history amongst the living. However, if you take someone with you, I'm sure your survivors will not talk kindly of you when the lawyer starts talking about your total lack of comprehension when you certified that your airplane is airworthy when you take off. I've said before .... if you want to impress someone with your knowledge of all things aviation ..... then you need not worry about the ADs ..... and explain how your superior knowledge makes an AD not apply. The FAA isn't a proactive organization. It's reactive. (Thank God!) and there's bound to be loss of life (or a high potential for it) for them to issue the AD. So, just go out there and ignore all the ADs. You'll be the reason that ADs are mandated for experimentals too. I don't know Glen personally ..... or if he's playing devils advocate here .... but the bottom line is that ADs are there to protect your butt ...... and mine too, and to try and lower the accident rate which we pay dearly for. I really don't care if Glen (or any anti AD person) doesn't want to take the ADs as a heads up ..... but I do take offense at them trying to lead others down that path with the 'ADs don't apply' mantra.
