Hi all, hope you have been having some great soaring.
Can someone tell me the gear to use to fill inner tubes in tow-out gear to make them solid - the Caltrop seems to be winning.

You can buy heavy duty thornproof tubes pre-impregnated with slime from a bike shop. I have put one of these on my wing walker, and it has worked so far. The bike shop also had available solid foam "tubes" in many different sizes.

On my bike,  the bike shop lined the tyres with a tough green mylar insert, and then put thornproof tubes in. That also has worked well.

Now is the time to spray the caltrop with a broad-leaf herbicide while it is growing vigorously but not yet gone to seed!
