Flat

[Tom & Cathy Friedland <tfriedland@attbi.com>]

The inner tube for the main wheel supplied with my XS mono held air
pressure for 3 years while the aircraft was in the cradle. However, as
soon as I took it out of the cradle it promptly went flat!  The seal
between the metal stem and the tube is airtight at low pressure but
leaks at high pressure.  I suggest that tubes should be tested with
pressure prior to installation.
