Paco! Plane looks awesome. You headed to JC with us in June?

BTW, how do you like the plane compared to the CC?

What day are you heading out Emmett?

Rob/Paco - let's post over on the JC 2012 Thread. Here you go: http://www.backcountrypilot.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=51&t=8605&p=132008#p132008

All this talk about new shoes must have triggered something in my subconscious . Had a dream last night that I ordered some 31s. Delivered the day I left for JC so I just threw the box in the plane and figured I'd put them one once I got there. Once at JC a crowd gathered around as I opened the box, no one had seen 31s on a Luscombe before. Inside a find two baby bush wheels and a note from WUP that said "Here are the tires you SHOULD have ordered"

I must be suffering for tire envy...

I talked to Wup today about a pair of 31s I think I'll get a pair before JC. Just use them for Idaho then run the 29 Air Hawks the rest of the time.

Robs gettin a boob job.

321TL is at Johnson Creek a glorious day!!!

Oh oh the 31s turned into 35s Stopped by Memoloose on the way home. 6500MSL 4" slush 15 MPH tailwind take off. Just about had to abort. Holy crap!

Holy Cow Rob! Epic

Good thing you have a Maule, otherwise you'd have needed a trailer.

Yes 35s will fit inside a M7, don't even have to let the air out.


Left Joseph and tried to get to BC area the clouds had a different idea. So I went by Memaloose and it looked landable. I drug it once, it felt good so I put it down.


6500MSL, 15MPH tailwind take, off 4" slush, uggg, thank goodness for 235 ponies under the hood.




There sure is a lot of difference from 29 to 35


Cheers

Awesome Rob!! Can't wait to see the new set up at JC.

Geez Rob... now you'll be down to My cruise speed....

Hey Rob great looking tires but the HAT takes the cake

I like my Caveman hat!

Hey Rod this is all your and Hunters fault because you put those big tires on the tee shirt of my plane. I'll send the bill. See you guys at JC

Rob

Got the 35s on today. You can't make a bad landing with these tires. Drop it from 3' and nothing but feather soft. The difference between the 29 airhawks and 35s is like effing
Rosie O Donnell or Natalie Gulbis. Natalie would be the 35s



Bring on the rough stuff.

Cheers

Dang those are nice!! Like the tires too!!

P.S. Thanks for not showing a picture of Rosie O Donnell

I'm amazed at the size difference between the 29s and 35s. I wonder what the real size of the two are? And what about the Airstreaks - is the 29s the same size as the 29 Bushwheels?

Anyway, 35s looks awesome.

Love the tires,
I can store those for ya in the off season.

Looks awesome! Too bad Troutdale Tower probably won't let you land in the grass
