Yesterday I inadvertently posted that I was going to check for some Elk, so today I did so. None were to be found! I took some video anyway, and figured I would share. From the looks of things you are not having very nice weather in the East, but it was nice here today. A bit cool 42 degrees when I took off.

The fact that our situation has gotten to the point where Trump or Hillary are the two most viable candidates to lead the nation.... THAT is the larger problem. It's a significant failure of both the Democratic and Republican party systems that they could not put forth a Kennedy, or a Reagan, or an Eisenhower, or a Truman.



Anyway, with that off my chest, I'm waiting for my Firestar kit to arrive, and I can't wait to get started on it. Can anyone here tell me which is the best or best compromise choice for wheels brakes and tires, for my particular intended use? I will be building up this Firestar specifically as an off-airport, back country, extreme STOL aircraft to explore small landing areas. I want to do the hilltops, and small mountain meadows, and dirt trails, the small clearings, etc. So for this I need large tires and good brakes.



Which combinations of wheels/brakes/tires have been successful on the Kolb aircraft for this type of mission?

Bill,



This is a very friendly forum and injecting politics into it is a sure 

way to reduce that great quality.  Please keep your political opinions 

at the poker table.  Thanks.



Good luck building your Firestar.  There's lots of good advice to be had 

here, so don't hesitate to ask.

One of the tire companies is now making "tundra tires" that will fit on the 6 inch rims that most are using. There was a recent (last 6 months) I think from Nick Cassara about them. Fairly spendy however. I have 800 x 6 on my firestar with the tires secured by screws so that I can run 6 lbs of air. Other wise the tires spin when you land and shear off the valve stems. I personally prefer individual brakes, and a breakaway tail wheel. You will also need to brace the tail post, so that it can withstand the pressures put on it by the individual braking.



Â I have 6 inch mech brakes, and it seems to be able to do the job for me. I got on them a bit hard last year and it caused the plane to do little jumps as it was bouncing the plane back up in the air. So I know that I get all the braking that I need. I would prefer ?possibly? the hydrallic ones but that requires buying two entire systems to have individual.Â 



You will of course need VG's, and for that I would recommend JC Gilpin. Â 

Â Â http://www.stolspeed.com/

Then of course you will need the 36 inch long tempered steel gear legs, making sure that you have the heavy duty axle fittings.

I also recommend a Spot tracking unit, so that if worse comes to worse they will know where to find you.

That will give you the best possibility to survive what you plan to do. The only other thing that you will need is training, and some pretty big cahones.

Larry how do you put screws into the tires without puncturing the inner tube, or generating cracks in the rim? If I'm seeing your photo right, are you flying your FS up there in NV someplace? Where are you based?



I am planning on VG's (I know, I know... some people think they work and others don't), and I am planning on an aluminum sheeted leading edge, and some other STOL mods bouncing around in my head.



Larry does your FS have flaperons, or separate flaps, or no flap features?



I do have a little bit of training already, although it is not the formal back country training like you can take classes in Idaho. I was once a sailplane racer in the western US, and I've had my share of off-airport landings in the gilders, in some really strange places (like the helicopter pad at the USMC Mountain Warfare training facility in Bridgeport). I will be starting off a little conservatively, especially since it will be a new type of aircraft for me.



Tell me about bracing the tailpost... braced in which direction, and braced to what?

 you.

 That will give you the best possibility to

 survive what you plan to do. The only other thing that you

 will need is training, and some pretty big

 cahones.Larry

 Anyway, with that off my chest, I'm waiting for my

 Firestar kit to arrive, and I can't wait to get started

 on it. Can anyone here tell me which is the best or best

 compromise choice for wheels brakes and tires, for my

 particular intended use? I will be building up this Firestar

 specifically as an off-airport, back country, extreme STOL

 aircraft to explore small landing areas. I want to do the

 hilltops, and small mountain meadows, and dirt trails, the

 small clearings, etc. So for this I need large tires and

 good brakes.

 

 

 

 Which combinations of wheels/brakes/tires have been

 successful on the Kolb aircraft for this type of mission?

http://www.jegs.com/p/JEGS-Performance-Products/JEGS-Wheel-Rim-to-Tire-Screw-Kit/756883/10002/-1 Â It was pointed out to me that you could get the screws cheaper than what I spent on these. YOu just need to have the right size drill bit because you want to cut some threads into the rim. I don't think you are going to have any problem with Alum rims cracking.

The rim is aluminum, and the bead of the tire is big enough that the screws don't touch the tube. I did however use a washer between the screws and the rim to make sure. Almost all of the tundra tires are secured to the rim with screws.

Firestar's do not have flaps or flaperons. I have been told that they don't need them.

I don't know about alum leading edges and stuff, but the plane will perform better the lighter it is. Your decision of course.

Disclaimer: I am not a "builder" as such. All and any advice is worth what you paid for it.

 Larry how do you put screws into the tires without puncturing the inner tube, or generating cracks in the rim? If I'm seeing your photo right, are you flying your FS up there in NV someplace? Where are you based?

 

 I am planning on VG's (I know, I know... some people think they work and others don't), and I am planning on an aluminum sheeted leading edge, and some other STOL mods bouncing around in my head.

 

 Larry does your FS have flaperons, or separate flaps, or no flap features?

 

 I do have a little bit of training already, although it is not the formal back country training like you can take classes in Idaho. I was once a sailplane racer in the western US, and I've had my share of off-airport landings in the gilders, in some really strange places (like the helicopter pad at the USMC Mountain Warfare training facility in Bridgeport). I will be starting off a little conservatively, especially since it will be a new type of aircraft for me.

 

 Tell me about bracing the tailpost... braced in which direction, and braced to what?

 Â One of the tire

 Â companies is now making "tundra tires" that will

 Â fit on the 6 inch rims that most are using. There was a

 Â recent (last 6 months) I think from Nick Cassara about them.

 Â Fairly spendy however. I have 800 x 6 on my firestar with

 Â the tires secured by screws so that I can run 6 lbs of air.

 Â Other wise the tires spin when you land and shear off the

 Â valve stems. I personally prefer individual brakes, and a

 Â breakaway tail wheel. You will also need to brace the tail

 Â post, so that it can withstand the pressures put on it by

 Â the individual braking.

 Â Â I have 6 inch mech brakes, and it seems to be

 Â able to do the job for me. I got on them a bit hard last

 Â year and it caused the plane to do little jumps as it was

 Â bouncing the plane back up in the air. So I know that I get

 Â all the braking that I need. I would prefer ?possibly? the

 Â hydrallic ones but that requires buying two entire systems

 Â to have individual.Â 

 Â You will of course need VG's, and for that I

 Â would recommend JC Gilpin. Â 

 Â Â Â http://www.stolspeed.com/

 Â Then of course you will need the 36 inch long

 Â tempered steel gear legs, making sure that you have the

 Â heavy duty axle fittings.

 Â I also recommend a Spot tracking unit, so that if

 Â worse comes to worse they will know where to find

 Â you.

 Â That will give you the best possibility to

 Â survive what you plan to do. The only other thing that you

 Â will need is training, and some pretty big

 Â cahones.Larry

These are the largest tires I could find for a 6" rim.  There may be some that are larger in diameter but they are also much wider and width causes a lot of drag for little or no improvement on the ground.  This tire comes in two versions.  One with a full set of treads and one that is considerably lighter and has a lot of the rubber removed from the tread.

These tires ( Buffed smooth) are actually about 4 pounds lighter than the 800 x6 that I currently have on my plane. They will also make your wallet a lot lighter as well.LarryÂ

I agree.Â  Doubt I'd pay that much money for someone to wear the tread off my tire.

 

I have run 8x6 air trac ribs for many, many hours and made many, many landings.Â  Still have a lot of life left in them.Â  I don't notice the weight.Â  Have enough horses note to have to worry about a couple pounds here and there.Â  I run 6 psi in mine without screws, but the MATCO rims grab much better than the rims Larry C is using.
