If we can take the conversation back to building and flying Europas for a moment I would like to hear from anyone flying a tri-gear off grass. Could you tell me the hight of the bottom of the pant fr
Geoff I fly off grass fairly regularly with the pants fitted and have never had a problem. I simply take them off every few months to check there is no mud or grass build up, which there never is. So
No problem Jeff, just a word of advise though. Don't fit them until you have fully mastered the landing technique on your particular field as you will surely damage them if you get things a bit fast
Jeff The bottom of Main Wheel Spats are 2.5 inches from hard surface. The Nose Wheel Spat is 3.0 inches. My tire pressures are probably slightly below 30 psi but it's a reasonable clearance. Regards
Perhaps more to the point (given that even medium length grass doesn't seem to affect spat functionality either) is to ensure that if the tyre (tire) goes flat the spat is not damaged .
