I just saw this and called the FBO and they said Cliff got it fixed and was just now leaving.

Default Sweet

and just for reference I carry a spare tube on long coss countries cus you never know. I also carry tools..the only thing I would need is some kind of block for the axle and another fellow to lift the wing (crouch down under the outer wing and stand up a little) and a compressed air source.

Worth carrying the spare tube in my mind.

I carry a cheap light weight auto pump with me that plugs into a cigarette outlet. I used it the second day of Osh. I had to save another RV-10 stuck on a taxi way with a flat tire.

Default got a source for a compressor?

The ones I have seen are pretty large..I'd be interested in one a few inches square.
