I would recommend carbon as it is thinner than fiberglass. If you go with option 4, you might loose 1/4 knot cruise speed. Bill Harrelson N6ZQ IV 550 hrs -----Original Message----- From: John Cooper So the only options I can think of at this point would be to 1. carve out a crescent of the upper wing skin core where the tire it hitting, 2. grind down the ridge on the tire where the tread meets the sidewall, 3. Reform the middle gear door, or 4. fly with the aft edge of the middle gear door about 1/16" away from being flush.
