REFLECTOR: Front Shock/ Tire Pressure

[KMis178813 at aol.com]

I was trying to soften the landings some years back and had  the brilliant 
idea (BRILLIANT I say) to lower all the tire pressures. All  of them to 30 lbs. 
, it worked great with one person on board.  UNTIL  high density altitude day, 
95  degrees F and at gross weight. Used most of a 6000 ft runway before I 
bounced  the plane in to the air to get rid of the rolling resistance from the 
tires. Be  careful how low you try to run the pressures. Later testing found 
that weight  vs. tire pressure really changes takeoff distance.
