First Bushwheel flight

Put my bushwheels on for the first time today, they make even my landings fell good. Remember on the first landing you will need to flare a bit sooner for the taller tires ( bounce,bounce,bounce) ;)

Lost 4mph and maybe 100fpm but well worth it.

Try your best to stay off the pavement and if you do use it, be cautious especially with your braking. Gotta love those "cushy" landings. Have fun.

Mongo, forgot to say what I first meant to say. "that's one real nice looking cub you have there". "Natural", huh?
