hey list, does anyone out there have a worn out 500 x 4 nose tire that I can buy cheap? While moving my new Ercoupe across town the old tire shredded itself and I need one just to be able to move the fuselage around in the hangar.
Yesterday marked the beginning of the restoration of N94893, 415G. The reason that I got the plane so cheap was because one of the local "old heads" had scared everyone away from being interested in it. He persuaded everyone that it was "full of heavy corrosion" and wasnt worth anything. Well, yesterday I pulled the fabric off the wings and found very light surface corrosion on some of the ribs. Spars are like new, center section is painted and shows no corrosion at all! We moved the coupe with the wings off all the way across Fresno, about 10 miles total at about 15mph right through city traffic. We got a lot of looks! it was great seeing little kids and adults jaws drop to the ground seeing an airplane being towed down the road. We passed one highway patrol officer, and one city cop- they didnt even turn their heads! The old nosetire that was on it couldnt take it- about half way through it blew and shedded itself- we had to keep going. Fortunately the wheel halves came out OK. If anyone has an old tire they can sell me I'd appreciate it- I dont want to spend $125 on a Goodyear 500 x 4 right now. thanks, jan zanutto fresno ca N94893 __________________________________________________________________________ ______ To unsubscribe from this list please send mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ___________________________________________________________ T O P I C A The Email You Want. http://www.topica.com/t/16 Newsletters, Tips and Discussions on Your Favorite Topics
