As air is forced under the plane by the prop, it gets squeezed between the plane and the ground. The wheel wells are at one of the lowest points, corresponding to the area of greatest squeeze. Is your engine still mounted? I know you run it occasionally. Perhaps you could string a water mammoter from the wheel well and a few points on the turtleback while it's sitting there. That'll end the guessing and tell us straight up what the pressure differential is. It'll be easy to compare that to what others here are seeing and know if it'll have any chance of working. -- http://www.ernest.isa-geek.org/ "Ignorance is mankinds normal state, alleviated by information and experience."
