Did the change in the angle of incidence when sitting on the ground change your takeoff roll? I have a theory that it would... just don't have the funds to do the experiment LOL
Yes but it had the O-200 Crank and pistons so a little more power than the 85. Unfortunately I sold this plane quite a while ago and the guy that bought it wrecked it on the runway after flying it home! (he was fine)

yes, but prob negligible difference. Bushwheels are more about soaking up the bumps and protecting the airframe...oh, and looking cool as hell ;-)
@@Helmetfires Agreed! Also, easier to push it in and out of the hangar!
@@wheelsupbardown Actually, when aired down to off-airport psi its decidedly more difficult to push around!
Do you have the C85?
