Default RE: need help with SM wheels

Thanks all for your advice, I have sent a note to both BVM and to SM....will see.

Not to get off topic but the maiden went fine. 180 rx dialed down a bit. I had the balance at about 220 and added a 4 oz "just to be safe" nose weight. IT took quite a bit of up trim and felt a little mushy in the turns. I was also trying to keep the speed down on purpose - i might have been a little slow. Once trimmed with a bit more power it seemed fine. Landed fine even one go around since I was a little fast on the first approach. Just went from landing to TO falp and hit the gas a bit wen around and setup again. Wind was 10-15 45 degrees off center, no issues. Plane pulled to "flat tire" on landing though....was holding air at TO.

WOuld like to get the wheel fixed...

Thanks guys,
Dave
