No answer. I may be SOL until Monday morning unless someone local has a spare tube in their hanger down here I can purchase.

My Lancair has oddball tire sizes so I carry a spare tube with me when I fly. I know Lancair pilots who carry an entire wheel as a spare! Personally, I'm not that anal.

Will a Michelin airstop tube do you okay? Have a couple of them new in the box. Just replace it when you got the time
