At about 13:00 he talked about using air in the tires initially and needing to switch to nitrogen because the air could diffuse into the rubber and the tires would be flat at landing.

This is the opposite of my experience. Nitrogen causes explosive decompression, especially with Viton (FKM) at temperature and pressure. I'm not away of air doing this.

Very interesting video anyway. Thanks for sharing.
