I am getting closer and closer to getting this bird on her feet. I have the grove nose wheel and ordered a tube from Desser, the valve stem is off center. I did not modify the wheel and can get things to feet and aired up.
I know many have been flying with this nose wheel and I assume use the tube with the off center stem.
Couple of questions:
1. How has the tube worked out any problems?
2. Grove recommended modifying the existing wheel for the stem offset. Did anyone do this modification and could you post some pictures please?
I am trying to decide if I should shell out more money for the Beringer wheel very nice looking assembly. The tire is tubeless so I wonder how well it holds air. Might do well at low levels but what about getting up high to catch some winds, would hate to get down to a flat nose wheel.
Thanks for any inputs, if you are flying fine with the offset stem on the standard Grove wheel I would love to hear from you.
Cheers
