Hello Jason Large difference in load carrying capacity. The tires I pulled up are made for a Cessna 206 with takeoff and landing weight of 3600 lbs. Tires you found have a combined load capacity of 1320; 660lbs per tire max. Sorry for the confusion.

26”””” inch Alaskan Bushwheels-Beringer ultralites $1445.00 per tire - standard tread Add $200.00 for heavy tread 26 lbs each

Better start prepping for that WIFE!!!!! All the best to you.

No Title Hello Chuck, Am I correct on the thinking of Rotor Thrust Vector (RTV)? RTV should be ahead of Center of Gravity (CG). When the gyro is flown at top speed and the control stick is full forward, RTV should pass through or slightly ahead of CG. The red line passing through the rotor...
