Subject: | Re: Tire Pressure |
What I do on my Kitfox with my current 6.00x6 tires, and with my 8.50x6
tires I occasionally use is adjust to about 20 psi, and then lay down on the
ground in front of the plane and adjust pressure plus or minus until I get
the tread contact I want to see. The taildragger can get pretty squirrely
with too much pressure on pavement, but with too low a pressure
ground roll increases. Based on experience with the plane I have a pretty
good idea of what amount of tread I want to see for different conditions.
I have McCreary 6, and 8.50's for it. The 6.00's are rated to 60 psi so
there is a lot of room for adjustment. Too low though can cause slipping
on the rims which is bad.
I imagine the CH801 tire inflation procedure would be a similar lay on
the ground and eyeball the tread contact pattern were I doing it.
Regards,
Jeff

Has anyone had a problem with wear on the ft. bearings for steering?
With just 60 hrs. I can see a small gap between the LG strut and upper and lower
bearings. Just wondering. Not a big deal yet, but something that I want too
keep an eye on.
