Alaskan Bushwheels?

Jason, looks like you went with the "go big or go home bush tires" It does look cool. As soon as I sell my V Tail, I am going to buy a taildragger. I figure that I can get a taildragger and the Malibu in the hangar, just cant get the V tail to fit.

Try putting the STOL kit on... with VGs it doesn't stall at all. Pull the stick all the way back to the stop and it just has the nose in the sky and sort of mushes downwards, no break.

Why would you do that? Then you couldn't spin it! :scratch:

No, these are goodyear 26" tires, the blimp tires. They aren't as big as the really big Alaskan Bushwheels, but they are very hardy. Since I operate off of pavement 90% of the time, I would have chewed up the Alaskan Tires very very quickly. These will last a very long time.

i know it will screw up the aerobatic quality, but I really didn't get this plane for aerobatics. I looked really hard at a scout, which can't do them, but couldn't find one that I liked and was in as good of shape as this airplane.

Now to find some river beds and back country strips!
