Joe I've had three flats in 99U, In my case I think it was air pressure related, I used to keep the pressure low to help with a bad landing but all of my flats occured due to the inner tube pinching, now i run 35 psi and plenty of talcum powder when assembling. I also carry a spare tube and enough tools to get the job done. My flats always occure in uncivilized territorty.
Or could it have been that the tire distorted from the 200MPH fly by at 9D4. Like I said that thing sounds like a Bonanza-----------Way Cool. That climb out should qualify you for a rotorcraft ticket. I was gonna go to Ocean City, NJ today but the Funk was terrible, so off to KTown again for breakfast I went.
