Well, I had to get out the fiberglass stuff this morning to fix a wheel pant. I guess I was a little too timid in trimming the wheel/tire opening (or too agressive in trying to keep the gap small - depends on your point of view ), and the tire either grabbed the rear of the opening on landing, or threw something into it, cracking off a chunk about an inch deep and two inches wide. I just put all the pieces back in place, did some sanding, and filing, and glassed a patch on the inside. Tonight I'll fix the outside surface, sand, prime, and voila - it'll be like it never happened.
Oh...And I'll open up those clearances!
Question I haven't seen answered before - what kind of tire pressures do people run in their taildragger RV's? I can't help but think that my tires look a little flat, but I've already got more than the instruction manual's 25 psi (or maybe I interpretted that wrong). Sure looks too low - what is considered the maximum pressure for our tires?
