I'm with you Harry, I've had the same results. I do carry a spare nose tire t
ube.

lightly inflate the tube before mating the wheel halves to make certain that
the tube is straight in the tire with no folds or kinks, even wiggle it aro

ertain that the tube doesn't get pinched between the wheel halves. With all
the talc you should have spread on the tube and inside the tire casing the t
ube moves around easily. After the bolts are tight, partially inflate the t
ube again and bounce it on the floor a couple of times to again make sure th
e tube has no kinks or folds, then deflate once more and do it again for goo
d measure before finally inflating to your desired pressure. Takes a few mi
nutes longer but sure beats flat tires.

| Subject: | Lasercut Labels For Panel & Interior (With Pics) |
I spent a day or so on the CAD laying out all the new panel and interior labels
for the RV-8 and also the RV-6 while I was at it. Lot's of precision pays off
here. I emailed PDF files of the labels to Ms Carita in Livermore, a label making
company, and ordered up some labels. I marked in red where I wanted them
cut out.
Today, I picked them up and they are pretty amazing! All I have to do is peal them
off the backing and apply! They are similar to what I had on the RV-8 v1.0,
but it seems that they did a better job than the first company.
Nothing makes an interior more professional than professional looking labels, IMHO.
These cost me $25/sheet. Well worth it!!
