Having it foam filled fixes the flat and likely the shop installing the

solved. Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

I did the foam thing several years ago on my tail dolly after having read someones great advise here on RAS. I regret having done so. It makes the tail dolly a lot heavier. More important, when I'm pushing on unpaved surfaces (which is frequently) it makes the tail bounce a lot worse than it did on air.

This year Schleicher shipped my new glider with a very nice tail dolly equipped with solid rubber tire that is quite soft, a really nice tire. No more flats to deal with or adding air.
