I just did what Hung did - I put a stripe of paint on the tire pointing to the tire valve. Just roll the plane until you see a stripe, then check and add air if necessary. I didn't bother removing them when I went to grass strips or ice runways, and it never seemed to cause a problem. That's my random sample of one; your mileage may vary. -Kirk Wennerstrom President, Cessna 150-152 Fly-In Foundation 1976 Cessna Cardinal RG N7556V Hangar D1, Bridgeport, CT KBDR

If you like the looks, anyhow. I'm trying to decide whether I like the looks of NO spinner or a skullcap spinner. I like the utilitarian look. What it comes down to is that there's no wrong way. Decide what is more important to you for your plane, and anyone who has a problem with your choice doesn't have to fly in your plane, right?

Don't worry to much about ice. I stay home if it's that cold (like today). Good wife, good friends & a Cessna 150. Life is good. Terry Monday 1976 C150M N9463U Greenville, NC
