I met Kyle Fosso two weeks ago when I landed at Anacortes. What an inspiration! To buy a sunken 170 at the age of 15, get your A&P, and do a total rebuild from the ground up. He even has a new fuel injected Lyc hanging on it. He's doing a great restoration job on it.swixtt wrote:i will be reading that one tonight. i did read the fly/bike TR that Jughead wrote. i've ridden that hill:) sure would like to visit with the 170 next time

Its all good, but my favorite is the the excellent article on the Scott 3200 Tail Wheel. (Im a bit fixated on the tailwheel...)Bruce Fenstermacher wrote:Wow, glad you guys like the News.

too low, thought i always had to run 45+ where does the 35 number come from?
Yes really.
Do you think it to high or to low? The tire under heavier load can handle higher than 35 lbs.

Close but no cigar. It's 35lbs.Aryana wrote:I believe the standard pressure is 24 psi for the Mains, and 34 psi for the 3200 Scott tailwheel placarded on the inside of the glovebox of my '55.
