well, one neat thing about a hangar is that checking the tire pressure
is a fine rainy day activity. And it's generally out of the wind. Plus,
for folks like Jay whose airplane has wheel pants, r/r of the pants
(wheel pants that is) is easier in a hangar than on the flight line.


I have hub caps on my plane that must be unscrewed, a royal pain in the
butt. Since its only about 3 feet between the bottom of the wing and
the ground my 6'4" frame doesn't like crawling under there often. Plus,
since I'm retract I worry about getting the pressure wrong.
I would love to find a tire system that didn't require this all the
time.
