I leave Az. in the Summer months. My planes remain behind in 100* weather.

My tires on my 60 size planes have flat warped tires.

I tried alcohol and detergent, it helped somewhat.

I need better advice.

Please help.

The two best ways to prevent tire distortion are either remove them from the plane or support the plane to remove the weight from the tires.

I didn't do that. I left them all summer in the heat and now I need to know how to restore them to their original shape.

Next season I will follow your advice and thank you for it.

I wonder if warming them would help. Maybe use a heat gun, and shape them a bit using a heavy glove to protect your hand? You might be stuck buying new wheels, or just living with them.

For the future, I saw some wheel chocks on a web site that lift the whhels off of the ground. They were nylon, and snapped on the axle. I cannot find the web site but made a drawing of the concept it used. It should be fairly simple to make them out of thin plywood or plastic.

thank you for the great idea. I will try it.

Hi;I live in Yuma 6 months.All my planes are hanging from the ceiling of my garage!!Not there yet hope they all survived,hear there were couple thefts this summer!Course for that you need a garage!!Good excuse think the wife will buy it!!Mine did!!

Getting quotes on garage as we speak.

I would just chalk it up to a lesson learned and buy new tires. I use cheap hardware store shelving to store my planes. Just be sure to cover the arms with some foam or something to protect the finish of the plane.

i read somwere to just "go fly" apparently if you just poweer up and taxie a little it will re rounden the wheel just sopmthing i have read i dont really see hopw much more damage you could do i think you should try it worse thing that can happen is you make te flatt spot bigger

HI;She going to go for the garage idea.I have one in Yuma with 8'ceiling but have to make sure planes are hung high or bump head on them!Garage back here in Wi.has 9'ceiling give lot more room but do need a stepladder for hanging them.In Az insulation is good idea to really helps keep cooler I have a used window AC also which keeps it usable when starts arming up!Good Luck!
