Balancing nose wheel
How do you attach balance weights to the nose wheel when balancing it? Main gear balanced easily with stick on weights inside the recessed part of the wheel so centripetal force holds it against the surface but there is no recessed area on the nose wheel.

On the RV-12 nose wheel you have to stick them inside of the round holes in the wheel.

We do the 12s also and use the same weights, just put them inside. If the imbalance is minor you can remove some rubber from the tire edge splash lip as well. Thanks, Allan...
