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
