Wheel assembly

Assembled the two main gear wheels, and the front wheel.  To do this, we placed an inner tube inside of each wheel (using some talcum powder to assure it slides inside of the rubber wheel), pushed the valve stem through one half of the wheel, then bolted the other half of the wheel to the first one (6 bolts at 100in-lbs of torque).  Main gear tires were inflated to 38 PSI, and front tire was inflated to 29 PSI.  Brake rotors were also bolted to the two main gear wheels.  Hours: 2.5
