No problems, but I like to tinker... This past weekend I installed new HID landing lights in my ductworks leading edge units, put together a wing jack, and loaded up my tubes with an ounce of Dynabeads in each tire. The weather went to **** but this week is looking spectacular and I am planning to take advantage of it
Dynabeads are very small ceramic beads that are inserted into your tire or tube and will dynamically balance the wheel assembly while it is rotating. I ran into these on a motorcycle forum some time ago and have had it on a fuzzy list to give a try with the airplane...
Here is a 2 ounce package of the beads.
You remove the valve stem and slowly coerce the beads into the tube, vibration on the stem helps the beads to make entry... it is slow.
They recommend that you replace the valve stems with filtered ones.
Anyone using these?
I will report back after flying with them.
Here is a video demonstration.
