I bought a new tube for the copilot main side since I'd put Dynabeads in it and was skeptical that they would function as intended with the butyl compound causing the beads to clump. The date on the old tube was 2/14/13. The bearing was loose enough, the seal was rotating with the wheel indicating the axle nut was not tight enough. The pilot side was okay. I reassembled the wheel with the new tube and tightened the axle nut enough to keep the seal from spinning with the wheel.
I posted a YouTube video of landing at MWL, 7 knot crosswind, deploying the landing brake in ground effect. This is my 17th landing. Almost 18 hours on the Cozy now.
