You did well. My line guys where not able to help. I also tried a couple cans of fix-a-flat from Wawa but unless you can spin the wheel, I guess it doesn't spread. My hole was in the side wall of the tube too. Lessons learned. Thanks for the info!

We got a flat taxiing out for takeoff on Runway 3 at Albuquerque International on a Sunday morning. It was a long day. [IMG]G]http://i64.tinypic.com/ztud7p.jpg[/IMG][/IMG]

I used a set of these car tire dollies ( http://www.harborfreight.com/2-piece...ies-67338.html ) while building the plane.

I put them in the hanger so if I have a flat at my home airport at least I can tow the plane back to the hanger for repairs.

For trips away from home, I am going to carry my wing jack points and a spare tube from now on.
