I just purchased a KF2 and the previous owner is still looking for the manual. The tires are shot so I ordered two 20/700-8 Kitfox tires from Desser. Last night I checked and the current tires are tubeless. Should I order tubes for these tires? Sure would be nice to be able to wheel the plane around. Hard to do on flat tires!

Mine is a Model IV, but still have the original axles, brakes and rims from the factory - "No upgrades". My tires have been tubeless from day one - 1000 hours total between Model IV no. 1 and current Model IV. And I have never had a flat tire, though I do carry either a bicycle pump or one of the compressed gas inflator devices. I currently run the Nanco 21X12X8.
