My Hawaii 701
Just picked up this 701 a few month back. I have always wanted one for it’s short field capabilities. Since this picture, I have gone to 21” tires on all three.

I have changed the mains on my 701 to 21 inches (Desser) - would like to change the nose wheel to match - how did you rebuild the nose fork to accept the larger tire. Any help here would be appreciated - pictures, advice what ever. I have the ability to make about anything or modify the original fork. Email madriver42 at gmail.com please.
Still grinning!!
