I have looked and looked all over the internet and I cannot find anywhere what the recommended tire pressure is for the main gear tires on an RV9. Please can somebody help me.
I have looked and looked all over the internet and I cannot find anywhere what the recommended tire pressure is for the main gear tires on an RV9. Please can somebody help me.
For my tail dragger -9, I use 35 PSI and refill at 30 PSI. Those numbers have worked well on both grass and pavement.
PS. Welcome to the good ship VAF!
if you fly with your pants off at all you may notice, as I did, that the pressure varies quite a bit.
If I preflight on a cool morning, the tire that has gotten a bit of sun says 45, the one on the shady side, 35 or so. after a flight and a mile of taxiing, they might both say 50. the next cloudy day, both are a solid 32.
these are small volumes of air, and vary significantly.
