I have 8.50x6 on the mains.  I looked into having an 8.50 nose fork bent but

it was a couple of grand more than I though I wanted to spend.  If you

really go into places that need that big of tires I suspect you will tear up

the plane.  



This spring I was in and out of a 350' strip where the plane was sinking in

about 1".  I would not go in with two but with one it worked.



I too would like to see pics!

Does anyone know what type of modifications need to be done to a CH-801 to 

accomidate 26 - 30 inch Tundra tires and what tire size/mods need to be don

e to the front gear nose fork if a larger tire was placed there as well?-

 I'm just curious to find out what-expenses might be incurred outside of 

the standard kit tires
