Default RE: SKYMASTER-USA MIG-29 FIRST LOOK

Tires: the MiG 29 nose tires appear to be air-filled like my SM-Plus Gripen. And they are fine on the nose gear. But, e.g., the Gripen pneumatic Main tires are way too soft and flexible, IMO, esp for a narrow stance model, and only add to inherent ground stability/handling difficulties. I finally filled mine w/ PU (made them solid), added a gyro, stiffened the struts, etc...handles fine, now

Are the 29 Mains solid...I don't see fill valves? I hope so(!), and wonder if there is a solid replacement tire for the Gripen yet? Beautiful looking model....Tx!
