I flew Saturday morning from Springs to Heidelberg. On my arrival there I spotted the Rans on the threshold of runway 29.
On my final approach I saw his left back wheel was GONE.....!
Was this a puncture or did you loose your wheel on landing....?
Fortunately, the aircraft looked Ok??
Hi Smiley,
Yes, that was me

I was on my way out to leave with the Microland bunch when I had a flat. With the help of some of the locals I removed the wheel, took it to Hi-Q and it was fixed in no time ! It had a 1mm puncture.
BTW, I did have "Tyre fix" and tried that but the hole was to large.
Now I am better prepared, the right tools, "patch and solution" and a spare tube flies along
Fly safe,
Rudi.
