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.

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. -------- Do not archive Dan Stanton N9801S 99.9% Done and Flying 701-40% done Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=190942#190942 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message zenith701801-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Zenith701801-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/zenith701801-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/zenith701801-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
