| Subject: | Re: questions about Michelin S38 tires for CH601HDS |
Hi Roy,
I have a 1300 lb gross limit on the plane. Very seldom fly loaded past
1250 lbs. The S-83 tire load-rating is very conservative, probably
greater by 50%, because
they are used on two wheel motor scooters and a tire failure (i.e.
liability) would put the rider on the ground rather quickly. The tires I
use are the same and I'd consider the rating adequate for any HDS. They
have 125 hours on them with no perceptible wear. The S-83 (not S38) is a
very high quality tire with good sidewalls and fit for the
Matco 4 x 8 wheel. Do use inner tubes with the bent stems to assure
that you're not dependent on a tubeless assembly.
I initially had problems with the tube stems during assembly because the
edges of the wheel stem holes were sharp and I had to round edges off
and add a 1/16th x 1-1/2 diameter rubber washer with an I.D, the size
of the stem. Beyond that and pressuring back up to 24 lbs each since
cold weather, I've had no problems.

Note the fit of the tire and proportions, which are very good for this
wheel.
(Disregard the pant fork bracket as it's changed that to a better design)
I think you'll like these tires,
Larry McFarland

Has anyone experienced aileron/wing flutter. What were your indications? Where
was it felt? In the stick? In the floor? If you could please share your experiences
with me I would appreciate it.
Thank you,
Scott

| Subject: | labeling parts for painting |
Hi all , after one week now I need to start putting some primer paint on the rudder
and stab parts for final riveting.
My question is how do you keep track of the parts to make sure they go back in
the right place?? I was thinking of tying small labels to each part but how
do you do this?
Thanks for any ideas.

JUST GROUP THE PARTS as you dissasemble. then debur and prime.
THEY WILL USUALLY ONLY GO BACK TOGETHER ONE WAY
HOLES ONLY LINE UP ONE WAY
BUT IT SAVES TIME IF YOU HAVE AN IDEA WHERE THEY GO
