It had 4 holes in the face which was secured to the lower face of the swinging arm; 2 holes were just the right size for the 2 lower bolts (having first been removed from the arm) to be bolted back through the arm and retraction mechanism, while the other 2 holes were large enough the allow the upper 2 bolt heads to be accommodated without being removed. This design of mine was done before I became aware of other mono owners who'd done similar but even better designs, including one made from plywood. It should be possible to find reference to those designs somewhere in this forum, I hope. Also a very good idea is to arrange your brake caliper assembly not to hang straight down towards the ground, in case of a flat tyre whose sidewall would get pinched between the bottom of the caliper and the runway, thereby making it more likely that the aircraft might nose over.

Carry a spare tube. Part no, TB-MTAT8X6 from Wicks A/C Supply. (I use a McCreary Air Trac tire 7.00-6, 6 ply part no. 06-09600 from A/C Spruce.) 2. Carry a lifting block so that a garage jack can be used to lift the a/c. See photo. The lug on the bottom corner of the plate fits into the recess on the swing arm. 3. Carry suitable set of wrenches, sockets, and Allen keys to permit rebuild of wheel assembly. Lots of luck. Cheers, John N262WF, mono XS, 912S, Mooresville, North Carolina /Subject: Europa-List: Repairing a flat on a Monowheel From: "rparigoris" Hi Group How do those of you flying handle flat repair on a mono when away from home base? Thx.
