Hmmm, frivolous and a bad joke maybe but idiotic??

Yes, idiotic.

Trivial in this case, as the tires were not alleged to have gone flat.
However, it is a frequently employed method to protect the wheels, and
sometimes the tires, while the parts (tubes in this case) are obtained.

IIRC, no assertion was made that this was an adiquate temporary service
for flight, or even ground operation.

My bad. I incorrectly assumed that his #1 response was his reply to
the first question about correct tire pressures and his #2 response
was his reply to the second question about flat tires. His reply
makes perfect sense now that I realize, thanks to you, that both
answers were in response to the flat tire question. Apologies to all
concerned. My pressure recommendations stand. I will now slither
back under my rock.

I really was not trying to be that much of a prick.

Especially for a canard aircraft, for which there is probably not a formal
POH, the tire manufacturer may be of some help.

My recollection, admittedly as a student-pilot twenty years ago, is that a
Cessna 150/152 with the optional 6.00x6 main tires (5.00x? was standard IIRC)
had generally better balanced handling with around 25 psi in the main tires
than with 30 psi; which I believe was recommended for the standard tires.

The problem that it corrected was not so much that the mains were "bouncy",
at the higher pressure, although they were and the lower pressure corrected
it nicely; but that the plane did not gain excessive speed on the taxiways
at just above idle. Therefore, you could reasonably warm up the engine and
taxi out at the same time without additional wear on the brakes. In other
words; it was practical to be kind to the FBO, even when renting by hobbs
time.

There was a very small increment in the take-off roll on smooth concrete,
which probably would have been an equally slight decrement on turf or very
well maintained grass, when compared to the higher pressure. And, of course
much less braking was required after landing...

You weren't a prick at all. Pricks are people like Barnyard BOb and
Warran Whunicut who launch into vindictive personal attacks. It's one
thing to call someone's statement or idea "idiotic", as I did, but
it's another thing entirely to viciously and vindictively attack a
person himself as both Barnyard BOb and Warran Whunicut did.
Absolutely no class. This is borne out even more by both of their
responses to my apology, just more personal attacks. Barnyard BOb
demonstrates his lack of class on a daily basis here. No surprise
there. Like most people, I couldn't care less what Barnyard BOb
thinks. Now I have an equally low opinion of Warran Whunicut.

When it comes to low opinions...
who cares what a weasel like you thinks?
You obviously don't know **** from Shinola.

If you truly didn't care...
you would shut the **** up about me, as proof.
Ain't gonna' happen is it........?
Mealy mouth cowardly creep.

If you really understood "most people",
you would not be cringing in fear and
hiding behind an anonymous label...
or catching a **** load of flack now.

Vindictive personal attacks?
IMO, you have some very serious mental issues
to resolve before you take me on., anon. This all began
with your PSYCHOTIC fear of being sued for stating
anything publicly here in RAH under your real name.
For me to pass up an opportunity to tickle your underbelly
was and continues to be... too much to resist.

My initial remark to you was....

Don't be such a tight ass, anon.

For that you rewarded me with....

Pot...kettle...black.

If this is your notion of a vindictive personal attack,
You ainl't seen nothin' yet, wounded cowardly one.

Get lost or get help.


Barnyard BOb --

Shucks... All this because I asked how much air to put in tires!

Yes, pot...kettle...black. An accurate assessment if ever there was
one. Obviously, my remarks are weighing quite heavily upon you. So
much so, in fact, that you post an initial knee-jerk reaction and
then, after hours of more thought, you send another love note. How
amusing, how telling. Don't try to justify your mean-spirited antics
further, they are beyond justification.

And I repeat and agree with what Warren stated...

You have obviously mistaken me for someone who gives a **** for what

Barnyard BOb --

Now I have an equally low opinion of Warran Whunicut.
