I was just going by the name and really don't know what tire to buy.
The plane will be at a grass strip as long as I own it and will probably see hard
surface strips 30% of it's landings. Everybody's input will be looked at and
considered.

| Subject: | Rapco brake linings and discs now available |
When I ordered new(recapped) Tires and Leakgard tubes from Dresser, based on
advice from this list I ordered a replacement set of RAPCO pads from Dresser
(aka VansRVTires) as well. I intended to replace the brake pads at my last
annual when I was doing the tires. However, I noticed that the pad were 1/4"
SHORTER in length than the old pads. The rivet holes align perfectly and
they are stamped/marked with the correct part number. I put them aside as
there was plenty of pad left on the existing pads, and intended to call
Dresser and ask ... why?? IMO the -10 is not blessed with brakes that are
TOO big and I wsn't interested in loosing any braking ability. Seeing this
thread reminded me that I haven't called. Anybody else notice this or have
more info chime in.

Michelin Airstop tubes on my RV6 for the last six years. May have added a
little air twice at the most. They just don't leak.

Leakguard work fine. They may be sourced through Desser's recap division.
Depends on what objective is for tire. Most cost effective, or top of the
line, what ever perceived benefit that is, or something else. If you want
aramid belted, top of the line Goodyear is the only one. If you want new but
low cost, Condor(by Michelin) through Desser is probably best buy. Or if you
are okay with recap, Desser on W coast or Wilkerson on E coast are your
sources. Van supplies Specialty Tires(aka McCreary) which seem to be
favorite of flight schools.

I wonder why we can't use the tire puncture sealer in a can to seal the
standard aircraft tube? You should be able to use one can to seal all three
tubes. You could distribute the sealer inside the tube really well before
installing the tubes in the tire.
Also Michelin makes Airstop tubes. I think the Leakguard are Aero Classic.

I'm looking at Michelin Aviator tires.
My question is Leakguard tubes or Michelin tubes and why?
Also is Michelin good or bad.

Thanks for the feedback. One last question.
What can I use to wipe off wet Weld-on? I'm thinking I'll wipe the oozing
off with acetone on the interior and exterior sides.
Is there something that works better?

Phil acetone is very bad for acrylic.
I would avoid the Weld on and use
Lord urethane adhesive. Stronger than
Weld on and you get a longer cure time
And you can clean the oozing off with
Enamel reducer. Ppg dt 870 is what
I used. Will not hurt the acrylic

Sometimes it can cause crazing later on in the

off with acetone on the interior and exterior sides.
Is there something that works better?

| Subject: | OSH camp conditions report |
Well I just got back from OSH for my trip over this year to
secure my campsite and I got a bit of a surprise!
As those of you who were camping in 2010 can attest, that place
was ALL MUD last year, with huge ruts, some of them probably
12" deep, from trucks and tractors. I'm here to tell
ya that you wouldn't even know that today. Surprisingly,
they were able to smooth out and improve the grounds to such
a degree that I really didn't notice any evidence of last
years mess. The grass is nice, and there is one more thing
I don't remember from other years. Many (most?) of the
rows up where I've been camping seem to have trees, surprisingly
maturing trees, on them. I've attached a blurry (I was
in a hurry) photo of the area near my sites. I may have
overlooked the trees in past years, but there are lots
of them now, and I think in 2-5 years there's going to be
a lot of great shade available for everyone.
At any rate, the grounds are in great shape, and there's a lot
of activity, and things are pulling together quite well from
the looks of it.
This year the sites seem to be filling a little faster than
previous years, and it's filling in an odd way, where the
sites are more shotgun scattered around the grounds. So
finding contiguous sites isn't quite as easy. I arrived
on the same day, near the same time, as always, and yet
I'd have to say that there seemed to be a bunch more
things staked out, further out from me, that I wouldn't
have expected. Perhaps folks are trying to make sure
they get the high ground, but whatever it is, the place
seems to be filling well. There aren't that many actual
campers there yet, but those will be coming in over the
next few days.
As usual too, on the way over I spent a bit of time in
IMC, having an absolutely beautiful, soggy wet cloud
trip. Many of you may know, one of the things I love
about living where I do is that we get awesome IMC
conditions sometimes, and today was one of them. Stable
air masses, and cool clouds. It's a blast.
The trip home wasn't quite as nice. I knew when I left
that I was running against time, as a big rainy mass
of heavy rain was coming towards home. Even with a
fairly quick-turn, I wasn't able to totally beat it.
There was a fair amount of lightning in some areas of
the mass, but looking at the picture on WSI and comparing
it to what was out the window...and, staying VFR
with good 4000' ceilings, I could tell that I wasn't
going to be too near the worst parts where there was
lightning, so I pressed on into the rain and was able
to make it home without getting anything worse than
5-7 mile vis and 3000' ceilings, and no bright
flashes around me. The ride was also almost perfectly
smooth...so this was, at least on the forward half
of it, just a large mass of rain. The back side was
where all the action was, and I wasn't going there!
Also, the prepaid camping went fairly well. It's
something new they did this year, to allow you to
pay for sites in advance. You still need to stake
them, but it did save a little data entry time
at the camping tag booth.
Looking forward to another great week for OSH 2011!

Scary, I've actually wondered the same thing about using Slime in the tubes for
a little added protection from grass strips or errant FOD. I would think the
major issues would be, weight, rapid acceleration of the tire, and any temperature
issues. Thoughts anyone?

I don't know the answer to your question, but it got me to thinking ....
which may not be a good thing.
I wonder why we can't use the tire puncture sealer in a can to seal the standard
aircraft tube? You should be able to use one can to seal all three tubes.
You could distribute the sealer inside the tube really well before installing
the tubes in the tire.
Also Michelin makes Airstop tubes. I think the Leakguard are Aero Classic.

I'm wondering if the spacers were needed with the old style tops more than the
current gen. Mine was first gen and needed space but In my Weld-On rush I forgot
to add them back in so mine ended up a bit low. You have such little room
between the door frame and the side windows I wasn't keen on cutting it out for
the tap and risk weakening the structure so I just built it up as is.

I did use spacers but thinking back I wish I would have let the plexi sit low and
carve a little of the cabin down to accept the thickness of the glass tape
around the windows. That way it wouldn't have been such a big job to transition
the hump out of the glass tape around the windows to the cabin.

Some years ago we put a Michelin tire on the nose, after a brand new Goodyear was
obviously out of round. It did seem a little better balanced than the typical
Goodyears we had been using.
Even more years ago, Aviation Consumer did an article on tires. Their conclusion:
The better (more expensive) tires were much more resistant to atmospheric contaminants
(ozone, uv light). The inexpensive tires could die of old age (sidewall
cracking) before their tread wore out. So their recommendation was that
if you did a lot of landings (flight school) then the cheaper tires were a better
deal, because you'd wear out the tread before they had a chance to die from
old age. Of course, where you live (near a chemical plant?) and whether or not
the plane is hangared factor in, too.
As I recall, they rated Desser's Monster Retread a "best buy".

When I ordered new(recapped) Tires and Leakgard tubes from Dresser, based on
advice from this list I ordered a replacement set of RAPCO pads from Dresser
(aka VansRVTires) as well. I intended to replace the brake pads at my last
annual when I was doing the tires. However, I noticed that the pad were 1/4"
SHORTER in length than the old pads. The rivet holes align perfectly and
they are stamped/marked with the correct part number. I put them aside as
there was plenty of pad left on the existing pads, and intended to call
Dresser and ask ... why?? IMO the -10 is not blessed with brakes that are
TOO big and I wsn't interested in loosing any braking ability. Seeing this
thread reminded me that I haven't called. Anybody else notice this or have
