Status: offline 		I have a 1/3 Scale Piper Cub and i can't seem to keep the tires on the hubs. Even on the smoothest landings the rubber tire runs off the rim. Its a split hub and a rubber type wheel, regular sullivan cub wheels. Anyone got any solutions? Thanks Don

Try automotive weather stripping adhesive. Used to use it on RC cars with hard (outside pavement) foam rubber tires, lots of side forces wore the tire to a cone shape. Hubs were nylon and we used acetone to remove the old tire and install new ones. Check the acetone for compatability with hubs and tires first.
