HDS people-

     What PSI are you running in your  tires?

Hi Bill,

I did use 21 to 23 psi, but found that when it cools, the tire pressure 

drops a little below that and the plane is hard to roll.

Now the tires are 26 psi and the roll is very easy.  When doing your 

taxi testing, easy rolling is better for feeling what the

plane is doing.

Leo and Larry-

    I'm glad I asked. One part of the instructions says to "Inflate the tire 

to 30 PSI" and in a later section "Wait until the wheel is mounted on the 

fork before FULLY inflating". The max rated PSI on the tire is 90, and the 

only other reference I had was the tire on my wheelbarrow, which runs 45 

PSI. I would have never thought the final pressure would be less than 30 

PSI, which, as I interpreted the instructions, was a starting point.

    Thanks.

                                                                             

    Bill
