Default RE: need help with SM wheels

Hi everyone.

Well I flew the Goshawk maiden. Unfortunately my wheel wont hold air. I resealed the hub assembly a few times and I think the central Oring is likely sealing but it might be leaking at the tire edge...

It holds air for a few hours, I think. But also was flat after flight; wondering if laeking at tire/side of hub interface. I cleaned all the edges of the tire etc for a better seal...still flat.

I wish I could just have a working system or solid tire.

Any other ideas?

I am trying to contact SM for a trial of a replacement O ring/tire.

I also am not sure where and how quickly I can get the tire from another source?

Thanks for any help.

Dave
