I have repaired the spacers in my main gear last year, now both the left and right brackets in my nose gear are cracked. I think that they need to be made of a heavier material or being a fiberglass guy, maybe from composite. Still working out a final solution. Any ideas for PN U1013C Gary ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 10:15:57 AM PST US From: Bill Watson Subject: Re: RV10-List: Nose wheel pant brackets I'll soon be flying off grass too.

Not sure why Van's spec'd the wider/lower profile tire. Either one is fine for the gross wt. The 6:00X6 is cheaper and more available, and probably more tolerant of the spreading of the gear on touchdown. Without knowing Van's reason for picking what they did, picking other than the factory specified tire is a crap shoot. Anyone can experiment. We just don't know if it makes a difference or not.

Robin http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/4/2010/10/griffincabinetdock. jpg Description What luxury to have cabinet-mounted iPad! What luxury to have an iPad at all, really. At $70 (plus the cost of an iPad) lazy recipe-readers could have one under every cupboard in the kitchen. Sign me up for 10. Griffin's cabinet mount dock is probably not intended for holding an iPad permanently, but I like to imagine people will have one in the kitchen, the garage and even the bathroom. Stuff prising it out of the brackets every time you want to use it, right? Amirite? The mount's arm rotates by 360-degrees, and the whole 'pad can move 90-degrees so it aligns flush under a cupboard, and then can be pulled out when in use. In the US it's $70, and in the UK it's =A350, available now.

Not good. I changed them out back to the 6 .00-15. Didn't fly or taxi with the 6.00 tires.
