    Default Clipper on Bushwheels

    Dave from St. Louis called me yesterday asking about Bushwheels on a Clipper. Sounds like he might put 26" or 29" Bushwheels on his Clipper. I would love to fly it. I would also like to 31" on one.

    I'll put a picture of my Vagabond on in a couple days with it's 25x11x4. Looks really cool. Now if I can only get the wings finished.
    I think the STC for the J-3 includes the PA-16 also.

    I was curious to know how Bush wheel react to concrete runways. Is it a big NO NO?

    My buddy lands his Bushwheels on pavement all the time. My experience with his plane is that you really feel the resistance on touch down.
