Assemble the plane and then stand back and go over every single stinking nut and bolt one last time. Even better have someone who knows about airplanes do it with you.. You will be amazed how easy it is to overlook something. Take another day/week/month if you have to...Its nothing in the grand scheme of things and could save your life. Have a wonderful first flight.

Which you probably just did. Also, maybe Barnstormers. I sold a rudder on Ebay a few years ago.

I ordered them Sunday from MATCO's website, and they arrived Tuesday via UPS. Shipping cost was $14.81, totaling $75.92 for the whole order. These are the exact same tires that were supplied with my original ZAC kit, which I purchased in 1998. They can be found at: http://www.matcomfg.com/catalog/index.php selecting the "TIRE; 4.80-8 6 PR (TIRT480-8)" The reason I need new tires is that the inside sidewalls on the mains had cracked pretty badly over the winter - their first winter outside. A bit puzzling, since the outside sidewalls look fine, and the nosewheel looks fine. Tires exposed to oxiding agents like ozone and even regular atmospheric oxygen do deteriorate over time, and I guess 8 years is a bit of time - but the part that rankles me is that 7 of those years were in storage in my garage! The fact that only the inside sidewalls cracked makes me wonder if it doesn't have something to do with brake fluid (DOT 5). Although I don't have any brake line leaks, I do remember making a mess when I originally filled them up.

The whole test took all of 5 minutes and did not require removal of anything form the aircraft. I had mentioned to the the technician ahead of time that I knew the blind encoder from my Dynon was giving the transponder the correct altitude (29.92 pressure altitude) and that the transponder was encoding for that altitude, because I could read it on my ATD-300 "Traffic Watch" collision avoidance device. All the technician did was use a device to interogate my transponder and read its output signal. I received official paperwork stating that "I certify that the ATC Transponder tests and Inspections required by FAR Part 91.413 were performed and found to comply with FAR Part 43 Appendix F." Total cost, including the paperwork was $60. The shop was "Avionics Shop" at TWF.

When I put " TIRT480-8" into the product search AND selected my country it took me straight to the tire.

When you find a site or two that show up more than once, see if they have free classified adds. Many do. Then post your ad there. I have sold several things that way.
