    Subject: Re: 701 Mounting Matco Tubless Tires to rims
    Tubless tyres have the advantage if you have low pressure and heavy breaking you don't get valves being torn out of the tube resulting in a flat tyre. But as larry said if you land hard enough to bend the rim the tyre will go flat with tube less. But this would be the least of your problems as your plane would probably be wrecked any way. I bent my aircraft including straightening out the under carridge and am still using the same wheels axles tires etc. I have had two valves rip out before I changed to tubeless. The second went flat and was undetected till I landed with the swerve to the left and the wing coming to rest 8" from a barbed wire fence. Graemecns

    Subject: Tube or not to tube
    From: "Mark S." <n752ms@softcom.net>
    I spun the valve stem off a tube when landing on rough ground and braking hard. I only run about 4psi if I know I will be landing on rough ground. I fixed the problem by using screws through the rim and into the tire bead, like the old race cars did. With that low of pressure I still have problems with the tubes moving around in the tire (valve stem getting crooked). I guess that is why Alaska Bush Tires don't use tubes or valve stems in the wheels. Leaving tomorrow for a week in the Idaho back country. Mark S. 701/912ULS Sent from Mark's iPad

    Subject: Re: Tube or not to tube
    HI All, Mounting a tubles tire on a Matco split rim with a O ring is really a quick and simple task. The only (trick) is to realize how strong and tough the O ring is and how much force is necessary to stretch it over the rim. First , Bolt the rims togather, Wet the rim and the O ring with soapy water , stretch the O ring over the OUTSIDE of the rim and onto the flat area. (I use my hands rather than a tool, less chance of damage to the O ring )This takes considerable force-- you may think the O ring will break-- but it won't--, then insert the rim into the tire in the usual maner, After geting the rim into the tire gently compress the tire. Then useing your finger roll the O ring off the flat area and onto the ramp, it will slide down the ramp and snap into possition. After bolting the rim halves togather the whole job takes less than1 min. Frank Goodnight Firestar 2 HKS engine Just about finished building a 701 Hope to have it flying by the end of Sept. Looking forward to meeting some of you guys.

    One consideration is the mandatory use of 91+ octane fuel in the 100 hp if using auto gas and Rotax wants it fresh and in season. Not many cars today really need premium fuel so it can be a bit hard to get it fresh in a small town. I live near a couple of retirement communities where there are a lot of high end cars that use premium, so it's not a problem for me. Where my plane is hangared, which is a small town someone bought premium for their Rotax powered gyro and when they started dumping it in the plane it stunk and was like lumpy. With the 80 HP you can use regular. -------- Ron Lee Tucson, Arizona Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=381395#381395

    Personally, I think the 100 hp Rotax is almost too much for the 701. That is, if you can have too much horsepower.

    I have had the 80 hp for 5 years, and have never wanted or needed anything larger. Uses regular gas, and it really is a short takeoff plane. This video on YouTube which has gotten 10,000 hits shows a no-wind 80 hp takeoff at 1000 foot elevation. I did not rotate until 50 mph. Could have rotated much sooner (35). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQ3XEDrGJQs&list=UUa96-6jPxciXbixBk9eTjew&index=9&feature=plcp Fred Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=381406#381406

    Also depends on what altitudes you intend to fly at.
