Big Tire Support Group Needed

I'd say I was beginning to feel like a crack addict, but I AM a crack addict. Are you kidding me?

No sooner did I put these on and I actually said out loud "you know, If I got 31's the wing would go right over my Raptor".

Please, someone please talk me off the ledge!

Sorry, but I am trying to decide on 31" or 35" on my next pair
Good luck

After walking around a few minutes with my chest puffed out I hopped into the seat and yep, I can't see over nose anymore. Great, just like the Stearman, all I get to see on landing is history going by while saying things like "oh great, I haven't ground looped yet". ;-)

Sensing that a lot of the "smaller" Bushwheels are being abandoned in hangars around the country, I've decided to start a Bushwheel rescue here at Oregon180 headquarters.

If you feel your bushwheels aren't right for you just send them over to me, and I'll make sure they find a forever home on my Skywagon. \:D/

Re: Big Tire Support Group Needed

you wouldn't believe the shit I get about my 29's here in So cal... virtually everyone i come in contact with has something to comment on mostly negative or critical... I've gotten used to them after so long looking at the plane with them on... they look absolutely normal to me and maybe that means I need to go up in size... only thing is I now have 10 inch wheels so.... :shock:

If you get overwhelmed and need a foster home for some of those rescue bushwheels I have some room here and I will give them lots of love :lol:

I'm with Oregon180 on the Rescue effort, I could use a good used (cheap, oops, Inexpensive) set of 26's,, Yes I know they are for Children but hey the plane only weigh's 780lbs. :lol:
