Hi everyone,
As a person that wants to build a kit somewhere down the line, and one that will be off field capable, I have wondered if you could put large tires on a Kolb Firefly? Or for that matter, the Mark III, or the Chinook. I have seen a T-Bird with big tires, at least a lot bigger than the stock.
If I can't afford the kit I want, then I was thinking of designs like I have listed, but would feel better with some beefy mains, and tail-wheel. I have not seen a picture of one of those planes with big tires, so I wondered if there was a reason you couldn't. Like landing gear, AOA ect ect.

Thanks
Daryl
