My Skywagon has New Nikes!
Have you modified your aircraft? STC? STOL Kit? Major rebuild from just a data plate?
Thanks to Steves Aircraft, Wup and an understanding wife, my skywagon finally has some squishy tires! The 29" bushwheels sure do smooth out the rough stuff. I should have done this a LONG time ago! The wagon I and a friend in a Husky will be headed from Utah to Anchorage this weekend. Hopefully the weather next week will improve up there!

180 driver, if you see a scout and a Rans S7 poking along, swing down and give us something to draft off of?? Where are you crossing the border? I am thinking of Porthill, ID. Patrol Guy

Dang it! Now you've done it...
Our skywagons are practically sister ships (1959) so this does not leave a lot to the imagination. Very cool.

Oh man that is so awesome. Gonna be talking to Wup for sure. May be a couple months now due to the O-470R and 88" seaplane prop conversion on my wagon.

The way you guys are drooling over 180's big fat new bush tires, you'd think he'd bought his wife a new set of 44DDDD ta-tas!

Your new tires look great and I am sure they will give you lots of pleasure.
I am VERY glad that your tires have nothing to do with Nike as that company's endorsement policy makes me sick to my stomach.
