Somehow I have made this far in life without ever having patched an inner tube. Today I finally got my chance. Noticed this morning that one of the trike tires was low. Two days ago I noticed this stickery branch barely stuck in the tire. Found the tiny hole by submerging the tube in a bucket of water. We'll see if the patch holds by tomorrow. Note to self: add some tire repair gear to the flight kit. 64,73,53,0,B

You can buy some sealer to put in the tubes as a proactive measure.
yes...I am a big fan of Slime for inner tubes and tires...
Those things are not pleasant.
The slime inner tubes work great! I put them on mower and no more trouble.
Hau!...with roads thorns and miles like yours...a spare tyre for your truck too I hope.
hmmm.. that could be a troublesome thing if you ran over a thorn on takeoff and then
had to land with a flat tire... eh?
wonder what others who have unfriendly ground vegetation do about that....
dang! NOTHING is ever SIMPLE! ;-)
I should have said that some of the slime tubes are self sealing. Anyone interested might check slime website or ??
I highly recommend using Stans Notubes tire sealant. I use it here in Idaho to save myself from goathead punctures on my bike. Works like a pro. I have used Slime before and it isn't as good as Stans.
