[f-AA] 600-6 tire pressures ?

[Paul M. Anton]

My 600-6 tires and tubes came today. Removing the 700-6 tires made a great deal of difference in getting into the Champ. I can now reach the step much easier than before.

Now I need to figure out what pressure to use on hard surface. I was using 20# in the 700-6. Advice would be appreciated. Plus I can now carry an extra gallon of gas. J

 

Thanks

Paul

15 seems to work best for me. 20+ and it's really bouncy!

I dropped back to 600's also, and I like about 15 lbs in them, landing on pavement.

Paul,

I use 14#.  That makes about a 4" tire patch w/2 ply tires.  Easily checked visually.

I've been around this one too.  Gathered advice from AERONCA people who favored the 12-18 psi area.  Settled on 15 for my Chief and think it's great for hard surface runways.

Totally agree with the others. Not more than 15 psi....

14-15 is about right if you can read it that close. The 20psi you had in the 700-6 is why you had a hard time getting in.. I have 700-6 on my Champ and use 15 psi no problem.  Doug

Me too.  And you really don't need a guage after a while, you can tell by the bulge when it's just right.

Harvey, who also has some bulge.

Thanks all 15# it is. J

Reminds me of flying back from Middletown way back in '98, and unaware of proper pressure, put 30# in somewhere along the way. 

Bounced like a superball every landing until I got down to CA, where I was informed I had twice as much air as was proper. 

Now only bounce like a superball every once in a while.  :)

I normally use about 16 poundels but, being a glutton for punishment , will put 20 or more in for practice on the pavement.  Good practice but ugly landings.  I go back to grass and 16 shortly thereafter<G>
