Alvin,
We started with about 13 degrees and went to 10 and eventually, about 11
degrees worked best for us. You might want to shoot for about 5200 rpm on
the ground at full power. We tied our main gear down first so we didn't
have to worry about the aircraft being drug forward by the engine.
Good luck,
Tommy Walker in Alabama

The term mayday used for signaling for help (after SOS), comes from the
French word m'aidez, which is pronounced "may day" and means "Help Me."

I have 8.50x6 on the mains. I looked into having an 8.50 nose fork bent but
it was a couple of grand more than I though I wanted to spend. If you
really go into places that need that big of tires I suspect you will tear up
the plane.
This spring I was in and out of a 350' strip where the plane was sinking in
about 1". I would not go in with two but with one it worked.
I too would like to see pics!

Does anyone know what type of modifications need to be done to a CH-801 to
accomidate 26 - 30 inch Tundra tires and what tire size/mods need to be don
e to the front gear nose fork if a larger tire was placed there as well?-
I'm just curious to find out what-expenses might be incurred outside of
the standard kit tires
