[NSRCA-discussion] Tires

[Ed Miller]

To stop the dreaded "flat spotting", you need to cut some curves in an old 
piece of wood, the same circumference as your tires so the load is spread 
out along all the tire that hangs out of the wheel pants.  An added benefit 
is they can be used in the car as a partial retention system for the plane.
