    Besides bed liner not being an approved repair, I did not find it to hold up well. I've tried numerous methods of application. Also, with repeated uses it will unbalance the tire. I don't see ABW approving a method of patching their tires. My last ABW 29's lasted 4 years and I fly off a paved runway and have to make most (60 to 70%) of my landing on pavement. As an A&P I would not apply bed liner to someone else's airplane.

    I'm lucky to have two sets of wheels and tires so I can easily switch between my ABW's 29's and Goodyear 26's. Just spending my kids inheritance.

    Ha, maybe if you are always light, on your game and it doesn't warm up this summer. I have also figured out some people mouth can get ahead of their true ability so more is probably better. Our training bar is almost 1,000 feet for the same reason.

    Excellent, my favorite is an on request BBQ cheese burger, chopped brisket on a fresh ground hamburger. We get a lot of traffic on the weekends coming over for lunch. We meet on the river most every Sunday morning and fly until just before the church crowd arrives and we go over and have lunch. Last weekend was the first time we could sit inside and eat, take-out the weekend before that. Didn't realize how much I missed my BBQ fix.

    Grew up in the Hell Hole know as Pasadena Texas . Best part of going Home for a visit is stopping in for BBQ or Seafood. I do miss Gulf Coast seafood. And of course Red Oak smoked brisket

    You would be hard pressed to find better BBQ. People fly 100 miles from the Dallas Metroplex for it.
