18 months ago I applied for a third class medical as a student pilot. I was denied because of one medication I take, a blood thinner Which is required because of a stent that was used to repair a vessel that was damage due an injury.  My doctor says that there is no reason I can't resume any and all activities with no restrictions.It took the FAA three months to respond with a letter requesting more information. They wanted a whole series of test, stress test, blood work, electro cardiogram, a…See More

Matco rims

After trying for the last couple of weeks to assemble the tires and rims I have given up. the O-rings supplied by Matco absolutely will not fit. It has two problems one it is way to small to go over the rim and two it is  to stiff, even with three people pulling together we were unable to even get it close to where the instruction say it should be to reassemble the rim. I have tried all that was suggested, I have lubricated the rim. put the O-ring in boiling water etc.  and still can't even get…See More

Matco Rims!

After spending a very frustrating week trying to mount my tubeless  tires on the Matco rims provided I  have given up.

Well this is absolute impossible. the O-rings are to small  and do not…See More
