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.

NOT A GOOD SIGN!!!!! ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 11:07:08 AM PST US Subject: Re: RV-List: Re: Wheelpants Part Duex - Air Access Door & Misc... From: "Bob J." 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. Regards, Michael Wynn RV 8 Finishing San Ramon, CA In a message dated 7/6/2010 11:08:07 A.M.

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.

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.
