Gary McKirdy phoned to night to say that during ground testing his tail wheel tyre deflated at aroud 25 knots and he was just a passenger with full rudder doing nothing to stop a spin to the right which ended with the outrigger folding back untill the wingtip scraped along the tarmac runway stick fullback and no brakes applied but the tail came up till the prop hit the deck. One blade wrecked and some paint to repair but Gary is sure thar had he had a puncture during take off and had to land with a flat tyre the result would have been much worse. Praps we know now why we've got that solid tyre on the back these days.
