Wheel's and tires.

Post by lesowell »

Can anyone tell me what there wheel and tires look like as they set on your plane? I just finished installing the factory new left and right wheel struts with everything else that came with my kit number 145. The top of the 850 tires angle inward and do not stand up vertical to the floor.  Has anyone seen this problem or is it the standard way the tires set?

Thanks
Leonard

The same thing happened to me until I realized that I had mounted the bungee cords incorrectly.  Re-check them to make sure they are strung properly.  You can do a search here and I believe there are some close-up pictures to go by.
Good Luck.

Also,
 As I understand it, there are 2 bungies
required per side.

Good Luck!

There are many things that happen really fast when you are
flying an airplane. There is no sense in rushing any of the others.

I would much rather be looking down at the runway, than up at it.
