Keeps telling me the document is too large.

If someone will email me I will send them the 337s for the Axles and Tires and they can try and post them. experimentalft@gmail.com is my email. Thanks

The files were too big. I opened them and re-saved them as a smaller file.

I finally got them installed and flew it for the first time last week. I must say its a lot softer landing feel and I love how it looks :)

It seems like there is a lot of interest in the 850 tires for the C120/140. What would it take to develop an STC for them?

I'm guessing I'd need an IA + some flight testing and some buy in from the FAA? I feel like a 1 stop STC for the 850s and Grove axles would be a big benefit to the community.

Anyone interested in doing this with me?

It wouldn't be much (if any) more work to get two separate STC's, which I would recommend. No reason to require one for the other. There'd be plenty of people interested in the Grove axles who would never need (or want) the big tires, and vice versa.
Anyone interested in doing this with me?
If I were younger... ;)
