Hello Net Today was just to pretty to pass up, so I went to the airport for some pattern work. Around and around I went till the oil temp said no more. and inside the cockpit got up to 102, so I called it quits and parked the KR in front of the hanger. After some time to cool off, I tried to pull the KR into the hanger and to my surprise, the left main was flat. The answer to the question How far will a KR roll? is not at all with a flat and the wheel pants on. At least I was not able to pull it. I guess it got punctured on the taxi back to the hanger, because I put air in it to roll in in and it was flat again before I could close the door.
I switching to Cleveland wheels and I'm awaiting my purchase. Does anyone know if there is any size difference from the Matco wheels that I now have and the Cleveland's. I know that the axle is the same and it uses the same tire that my KR presently has. But, will my wheel pants fit without mods??????
