good timing, I just ordered one this morning from Aircraft Extras for my go bag:

Just FYI the Valve Inflation Tools (the one shown above with the gauge) went crazy at OSH and we are out until the middle of October. We can still take backorders and send when available.

Mike, I too have the same problem that Dorfie above did with your inflator extension (not the full inflator with gauge). The shaft inside doesn't depress the valve stem, as if it's too short. Any recommendations for a field fix?

I got mine at a local NAPA store. They have multiple lengths and chrome or brass :eek: finish. Don't leave home without one!
Of course the other part of this item is painting a white dot on the bottom of the tire when the valve is lined up with the fairing hole. |
Darn, I tried painting the bottom of my tire with a white rattle can.
Maybe I need a picture or something... the paint is everywhere but on the bottom.... Seriously though, when I see simple solutions like this I just smack my head and say, "why did I take all those screws out last time the tire looked low, but turned out to be just fine?" I am headed for NAPA. |

Here is the one I got at Napa for under 10 bucks. Works great.

RV-10
Anyone found a way to use one of these on an RV-10?
The valve stem protrudes at such an awkward angle it takes 2 hands to attach a Inflator tool. No way I could do this with the wheel pants on. At about 2 month inflation intervals,I am taking a look at the wheel and brake assembly while the nose cone of the wheel pants are off, so it offers opportunity While a bit inconvenient |
