Tyre pressures

The book says 35psi in the mains.

I tend to run mine at 30 psi as it bounces less! When I first started out I did my first 10 or so landings with 20psi in the tyres - it really does dampen out the desire to be twitchy.

Budd Davisson - Pitts guru in Arizona starts off newbies at 18psi and accepts the accelerated tyre wear as part of the trade off.
