While I feel stupid asking, that has never stopped me before=85how do I tell

if the mains are tube or tubeless?  The service manual lists both [my bird

is a 500A] as possibilities.  The stems are right-angled; I don=92t understand

how that works if they have tubes=85



Thanks,



Alan

are the tire pressures for the nose and main tires?

In the winter, when the air gets very cool, I tend to go a little higher in 

the mains. I've noticed that soft main tires will add to your takeoff 

distance drastically....much more so than taking off at gross weight will if 

the tires are at the right pressure. It's amazing how much your takeoff 

performance degrades when the mains are 5-10 psi too soft.

I keep my mains at 60 and nose at 45psi.  Any less on the nose and the  power 

at run-up will squish it.  jb
