I agree with Gary IF you have a good inner tube that holds air reasonably w
ell. With Van's supplied tubes it was a one-a-week deal. Too often to remov
e the wheel pant front in my opinion.

Save your money, a little weight, and time on making access to air the ti
res. Just remove the front half of the wheel pant. This allow you access to
INSPECT the brakes every time you air the tires.

I just talked to Lowrance Tech. Support and they told me their latest
update is April and they are talking to Jeppesen for current updateds.
He had no idea how long it will take if it will happen at all.
NOT A GOOD SIGN!!!!!

I took the wheelpant install several steps further on my Rocket, to make it
far, far easier to do routine maintenance on the brakes/tires. I used Van's
wheelpants since I have larger 380x150x5 tires, and fabricated 304 stainless
brackets. The inner brackets are oriented vertically so that the attach
points fall under the overlapping seams of the wheelpants--one doesn't have
to crawl into an awkward position to attach the aft screws...also the
bracket attach screws become completely hidden when the front half of the is
in place. I reinforced the wheelpants with a bit of carbon fiber to stiffen
things up on the inboard sides. Since the front half of the wheelpant is
now no longer structural as it doesn't attach to the support brackets
directly, I was able to use the small SK27 Skybolt camlocs, and installed
five of them around the circumference. The front of the wheelpant comes on
in 5 seconds or less, and can have the whole wheelpant off in under 30
seconds. No fooling around with doors, air extensions, and rolling the
airplane around to fill the tires...cleaner installation that turned out
much stronger than the stock setup.

Hey Bob,
How about a picture of your wheel pants. This sounds like a really nice
project.

The Michelin tubes that I have do not leak. I added a couple of pounds of
air on Sunday July 4=2C 2010. According to my logbook=2C last time I adde
d was July 10=2C 2009.
They tubes that Van supplied me needed air once a month.

Tracy,
I'm looking for a place to spend summers when I retire (two or three
years, I hope). I have lots of questions about flying activity in the
area, common weather conditions, hangar availability, etc. Probably more
questions than everybody on the list wants to hear about. I'd love to
discuss them, but probably better off list. Thanks for your interest.
Ivan Haecker
