Keith,
beware: my original surf&turf tyre /tire also
rubbed to the brake caliber so much that I saw
very soon during first 50 hrs (about 100 landings)
fabrics in the bottom of that deep canyon on the
side of that "aircraft" tire /tyre.
Recommed: have a real aircraft tyre /tire like
AirTrac or any but size 7x6!
BTW, the rubbing rubber smells awful and has
nothing to do w ac specs.

Subject: RE: Europa-List: wheel to underside
clearance not 2 but 5cm & wide tyre
<keithhickling@clear.net.nz>
Hi Graeme,
I also had 5 cm between the top of the tyre and
bottom of fuselage
initially, and John Wheeler said that was fine.
The suspension settles a
bit with use and loading.
I also have the original wide tyre, and it rubs a
bit on the brake
calliper, but is just OK.

"The post build check list says the clearance
between the top of the
mono wheel and the underside of the fuselage
should be about 2cm, well
mine is 5cm, should I be worried?
Also, I have the original tyre 8 x 6 4 ply carlise
truf glide. I am keen
to have the wides possible but did i read
somewhere that they should be
changed."
