Yes it is

Mauleguy... awesome videos here, and I have vol 1 and 2 on DVD already. Hey I'm just wondering..Since those bushwheels are probably fairly low pressure, when you brake hard, do they ever slip on the wheel? I may be getting some AK Bushwheels for my plane (Ridge Runner III taildragger made by Rocky Mountain Wings of Nampa, ID), and just want to konw if you've ever had any issues with slippage.

[mauleguy]

@CebuBangkaRacer I have never noticed any slippage but even if they did it would not be a problem since the valve stem is part of the side wall of the tire. It takes two men and a boy to dismount a 35" tire on a 10" wheel also.

Winner! Just look at the rate of climb!!!

Gotta say, it really does look spindley aft of the cockpit. Is it designed to flex when the tailwheel touches down?!

[mauleguy]

That is actually all that is on a Super cub fuselage that is structural underneath the fabric.  It looks a little different now that I have my extended baggage built now.

dear mauleguy...what kind of cruise speeds can you achieve in got rocks? Thanks for your innovations!

[mauleguy]

105 mph at 2500 rpm with a 84/42 propeller

Great flying, but looks like a good place to break off a tail-wheel.

Is cold weather required to benefit from the lift?

[dalebert911]

I think I chubbed up a little...

[FNP3]

Very impressive to be sure. What engine?

[easygtr]

RESPECT!!!

[hiltonlife]

Wow.  Those soft tundras remind me oft grandfathers old 1977 Honda 3 wheeler

[milty72450]

[ericbob04]
