Guest Baphomet Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 He's sold the plane, but I'll have a look at the archival stuff I've go and try to find something. What I didn't say in the earlier post, and I hope is obvious to anyone, is that the performance will be very dependent on the weight of your aircraft.

Guest Maj Millard Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 The Black Max wheels that I am familiar with do not handle long term sun exposure too well, as it weakens them. They were fitted to many early ULs in the 80s, and I recall at least one pilot walking back to the hangar with his helmet full of broken Black Max wheel bits. Best to minimize their sun exposure !.....................................................Maj... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
