Tire inflation pressure

Hey, that BOb is sooooo happy he is using my name ....I will post the
thread where BOb got honest with us about 50 years of accident free
flight.It is titled HI VIS Paint, For your reading pleasure and a good
laugh read the whole thread to see BOb unravel and back peddle. I
cannot wait to see what new heading he will use with my name in it.

Another related question: both mains tend to loose air slowly - would
be flat after about 3 months sitting. Is this typical or should I get
new tubes?

Try new valve cores.

Wish I could go as long as 3 months.

I've been informed that AIRCRAFT tubes
are manufactured from GENUINE RUBBER.....
and are porous by their very nature.

I've also been told Michelin tubes leak the least.
Dunno, but wouldn't bet the farm on this rumor.
They_ARE_ expensive.

Try the valve cores, but chances of BOTH
being the cause of you problem is slim to none.
If it doesn't help, at least it's a cheap education.

Lets see what airplanes have you have built and fly? Would love to see a picture
of them. A single engine Private Pilot. How much IFR do you fly Ben? Lets hear
some of your riveting stories...ok? You seem overly obsessed with Bob. Maybe a
little jealous or are you just infatuated with him and afraid to show how you
really feel? Maybe you have a really strong crush on him.

What is the proper pressure to use with 5.00-5 mains and 10x3.50-4 nose
for a 2250 gross canard plane?

-------------------------------------------------

1. Blow `em up until the sidewalls come off the ground.
2. Go to Home Depot and get some garden tractor/riding mower tubes. Use the
old tubes for your rubber band gun.

And bless you too. Why, Sir, that makes you the honored alpha male most
beloved curmudgeon here. We got one who's been dickin' around for 50, so
you got him beat. Besides, he don't seem to be building anything much
nowadays like you are, just lobbing laurels on Lycoming and railing at the
autoaero engine guys. Still kinda beloved though. Then we got the alpha
female curmuffie, Syd the Snowbuzzard. She's currently discommoded by radio
noise, but soon the agony will be abated once Weird gets it figgered out.

Donno if thats something to be proud of or not.
Time seems to speed up as you get older and birthdays come as an unwelcome
surprise.
If Ol Doc Plemmons passes my physical in a couple years, I`ll be close to
Joining Gene W as an Octogenarian pilot.
Scary.

Warren,
Look out below!

Thanks for the leakage comments... but anybody know about the
proper tire pressure? Or is that a mystery?

45 psi for mains and 55 psi for the nose. Use six ply tires for the
mains. Check pressure 12+ hours after initial inflation and add air
if necessary. After that, pressure loss will be due to
leakage/diffusion.

The 70 psi nose tire pressure suggested by another poster is not only
needlessly high but is over the maximum pressure specification for
most 10x3.50-4 tires (1). Another poster's comment to "blow 'em up
until the sidewalls come off the ground" is, of course, idiotic.

1: The ply rating is an indication of tire strength and does not
necessarily specify the actual number of carcass plies within the
tire. The term is used to identify the maximum rated static load
capability and corresponding inflation pressure applicable to specific
operational requirements.

Another poster's comment to "blow 'em up
until the sidewalls come off the ground" is, of course, idiotic.

Don't be such a tight ass, anon.
This was an OBVIOUS harmless joke..
except for the part recommending
going to Home Depot for tubes.

That sir, has been the best advice so far for
experimental aircraft. The recommended lawn
and garden tubes, if installed correctly, will NOT leak
and are affordable.

Better and cheaper.
Can't beat that.

My ass isn't so tight that I must remain anonymous.

I can't imagine anyone having to resort to your
cowardice or fear ****ing down their own pant leg
over anything so inconsequential.
