C'mon! Be a bush pilot. Stick your finger in yer mouth, hold it in the air and say, "that'll do 'er."
Knew a guy back in Michigan who reconfigured his landing gear with a scoop and vanes on the back of the rotor (like a turbo charger) so when he was landing, the wheels would spin to match air speed. No idea how he actually did it, since I never saw his plane.
Said he saved thousands on tire wear costs. I had no idea they were that expensive -- I thought he was BS'ing me.
