Sid,
Glad to hear you got to fly her. Twenty-six plus years... that's a LONG time

Congratulations Sid. ?I know some of this was a bit disappointing, but you are

and have ideas of what to do to correct it. ?Things will improve as you get the
bugs worked out.

Made the first flight with N6242 this morning. That's 26+ years of steady
building, modifying, sanding, painting, fixing and tweaking coming together
for 10 minutes of flight with 2 laps around the patch.
Winds were supposed to be calm as reported by AWOS; not true at any altitude
above 20 feet
Thanks for posting . Glad you are well.

I don't mean to be picky, but flight hours are not relevant... how many
landings, how much taxiing... etc, etc.; how much abuse have the tires been
exposed to that would contribute to wear or failure.

Correction:
I had my logs out going over numbers for insurance application and I
must make a correction to my earlier statement. I did rotate my
tires on the rims on an annual inspection when I had the wheels off
to grease bearings. At that time the tires had 146 flight hours
