I don't know if Goodyear would consider something besides a
Bonanza....I think some of the RV-10 fleet up north maybe more active
than the forked tail crowd. In any case, good info of new tube
availability, probably next year.

Fellow Beechlisters - this from my good friend Dick Delagrange from Goodyear
(who has been a B2OSH supporter for many years!):
John,
We have new tubes coming out shortly that employ a combination of the air
retention capabilities of Buytl and the tenacity of Natural rubber. These
tubes are fully approved and are superior to the butyl tube in cold
temperature operations and durability. Sizes are 7.00/8.00x6 TR20 & 5.00x5
TR67 Tubes.
We are looking for a few operators who can mount these tubes on wing this
fall and report back to us in the spring with their results. Tubes are
Free of Charge.
Target group is about a half dozen bonanza drivers to install the tubes
this fall and provide us feed back in the spring. It's important that we
place the tubes on aircraft that are fairly active. Additionally we prefer
testing in cold weather and lots of cycles.

Please respond directly to Dick offlist with your information if you are
interested in participating. I know we all want something for free - but
Dick really needs a target audience from the northern tier that flies
frequently. Thinking Ward Anderson, Marc Charron, Dave VanHorn, etc..
Just the messenger, not the message. But this is a good thing!!
