Have you modified your aircraft? STC? STOL Kit? Major rebuild from just a data plate?

Big Wheels Keep on Turning...

Pondering whether to keep my 206 standard landing gear (500 front, 600 mains) or go for either the heavy duty or AirGlas upgrade. When do you think it becomes worth it in terms of rwy surface and length?. Also info on brand and type of tyre/tube you recommend, any advice is really welcome. Would be great to see photos of your setups too!

Airglas fork with 800x6 and mains 850x6 always worked great for me. With a 850 up front my tail was too close to the ground

I really like my 7.00x6 on the nose and 8.50 on the mains. I find it quite balanced. Works with just a Cessna HD fork.
