Yea, now that the wheel extenders are off I think it’s time.

How do you like the maule tw? It is a cheaper alternative then the 3200 but we had one on the cub and could not get it to stop with the shimmy.

I've heard nothing but bad things about the maule, but I haven't had any issues with mine. I was tempted to "upgrade" to the 3200, but since it's working well for me I don't want to "break it"

When it comes time to replace it I'll look into the 3200.

Also, in the search for some 8.00 x 6 tires. Anyone have recommendations on tires. I've seen different brand with multiple plys, too much info for me

Next Q....

Looking for some 800x6, under the TCDS it only lists goodyear 800x6 4ply.
Are the Air Hawks not approved? Currently the airplane has 600x6 air hawks on it. The plane also has cleveland wheel and brakes. Any help on slection and ply rating? I have at my disposal a good set of Air Hawk 800x6 6ply.

Welcome!

I'm just over a year in and I'm more smitten with Shirley than the day I met her a year ago. They are fantastic little planes. I put 125 hours on mine this last year, and even went from MI to Northern Idaho camping in the mountains with her.

I have the Scott 2000 and there is nothing wrong with it! Yes a clunk on the ground with every bump but nothing bad, my understanding is its lighter than the 3200, you'll never pop it, etc. If the 2000 goes to hell on ya, may be one thing, but I wouldn't think you would need to make a new TW a high priority, sure maybe the chains and that...

I have AirHawk 800x6 4 Plys on mine. Love em... Gives her just a bit "beefier" look without looking way oversized.

These guys n gals on here are great and have helped me a lot getting to know my bird.
