I had a situation during our maiden flight:
the tire was inflated couple of years ago
and checked just before take off but after
this happy flight we noticed it was almost empty!
So, we completed our maiden flight with broken tire!
We repaired /inflated it by using aerosol and filled
until tire=B4s pressure was 1,5 bar. So far it has been OK.
After this experience I am going to carry tire
inflation aerosol always with me. I am not sure
but think it mades a permanet fixation - not only
temporary to get home. So I rates it high!
And cheap!
And fast!
And easy!
And clean!
Wishes, Raimo

How does anyone rate tyre inflation/sealing aerosols for emergency
get-you-home application?

Hi all.
For what its worth I always travel with my jacking block. I have
had one incident where my tube blew out on landing at an airport away
---From my home base. It would have been very difficult to deal with the
situation had I not had a jacking block with me.
To give you an idea I had 5 hefty guys to help be move my aircraft
and it was a major effort to move it the 3 ~ 4 meters required to clear
the airstrip.

Hi Jerry,
Another option for removing the monowheel wheel is a simple wood
jacking block, as seen in the following Europa mods link;

Look at the section titled; Mono-wheel jacking block

I am going to change my tire and tube and was looking to
recommendation for lifting aircraft to remove tire. I have a hoist-crane
that I could lift at the engine or engine mount. Would that cause any
issues or too much stress at attach points? Thanks for help
