Tire Upgrade

[PapuaPilot]

We had beautiful weather today and I managed to get the new tires dirty. It was quite dusty at the Owyhee State Reservoir airstrip, there was a big dust cloud after my takeoff. After that I went to another strip just a little west of the south end of the reservoir that is only 1200' long. It was even dustier, the tires were making a rooster tails of dust while taxiing.

The Desser tires are feeling very nice compared to the 6.00x6 tires I took off. I am running them at 12 psi and they are nice and soft over the bumps. I also noticed the difference with the new Grove tailwheel spring too, it was nice and springy over the bumps.

Ross, I finished my flight testing about a month ago and have started going to some backcountry strips. The engine is running like a top, I'm very pleased with the engine.

Bruce, the tires weigh the same as the ones I took off.
