Dave the two online guys that used to carry these tires don't anymore. Know of a source for the Nankang N800's? I'm coverting my Avid over to KF IV gear with disc brakes and want to run minimum 21's for now until I build some 9" wheels.
another thing to consider is the speeds a lot of these stunts are being done at are low enough the pilot would likely walk away with broken bones at worst if he wrecked.
Sorry, never been there! I do however have a pilot/instructor rating and do most of my flying on floats on Northeast Canadian coast. Planes here get normal everyday abuse from the elements all the time, we don't have to "make it happen".
abuse and USE are two different terms. My dad was a bushpilot in northern B.C. for 40 years. He used his planes not abused them. Fun factor is a hole different word...get a four wheeler to play in the MUD!
Yes hunt4fish, I agree. Mud & water in bearings & air intakes rocks in fabric etc etc. One thing when it happens, but going looking for it. Wait till murphy shows up!!

That much fun should be illegal. Probably will be, if a certain political party gets its way.

Sorry, aerodrome. We all can't have a strip in the back yard. That's called Heaven.

when you got skis, big wheels or floats who needsa aerodrome?

Testing the utility of a bush plane benefits everyone and boosts skill. Driving to the A/P ?? - now that's dangerous.

Aircraft with four wheel drive should have wiper blades. What happens when it gets stuck in the mud?
