The airplane sits at too high an AOA on the ground, and it's really easy to land nose first or all three at once. I put an 8.00 x 6.00 nose tire on, based on a field approval, and that was a great setup. We ran three 206s that way, and they worked fine.
The hot ticket is to get a piece of stout rubber hose about the diameter of the nose strut, split it lengthwise, and hose clamp it onto the bottom of the shock strut.
Something like this, MTV? (This was a workin' airplane I once saw in Bettles. You can also see the rubber hose and hose clamp if you look close, I think.)

So you're a SD-area Harley rider, eh Iceman? A buddy of mine down there rides-- his name's Fredo, he's buddies with a guy named Pete who owns Badlands Cycle in Spring Valley. Know 'em?
