Hi all, Wait a bit ....

I think this might be a good idea. I saw bush pilots working in alaska with planes using BIG balloon tyres to soften the rough landings on rocks ext, and wondered about the idea on trikes for the students bouncing all over the show ....

Not sure about that Jaco,

the way i was landing during training last year.... another one of those "positive" landings on those tires and you would be sent straight into a low earth orbit :lol:
"wrong" is one of those concepts that depends on witnesses

One time I bounced so high, I had to do a whole new approach and landing on the remainder of the runnway.

My bum was so sore, and legs was wobly, had to take "brandewyn"
to calm the nerves ...
