Default What's the best way to install a new tire tube ?

looks good, it just needs air everytime I show up to fly it.

I would hate to blow a flat on takeoff then have to reject or worse
end up in a ground loop due to a blowout....could happen. *If anyone
has any steps, measures or procedures that they can pass on, I would
really like to know. *I have never put a tube on an airplane before, I
have put tubes on bicycle tires, which I imagine the basic basic steps
are roughly the same. *Any knowledge....please advise.

What everybody else said - plus I'd suggest coating the tube and
inside of the tire with talc to prevent the tube from sticking. That
helps the tube even itself out reducing the chance of wrinkles and
pinching.
