Wanted 3" lightweight foam wheels.
Looking for wheels for 60" 6lb model (my su29).  Would prefer Dave Brown but would consider other styles. Went to AJ's yesterday and came up empty. If anyone is going by Pinnacle or has some please let me know. Will pay full replacement cost

Thanks!
Yea 400W/lb should about do it.. But wouldn't a nice round 500 be better?

I think I have some. Will check tonight

Ed,

I have two matching 3" Dave Brown foam wheels, used, but in good condition.  If the 3rd one is a nose wheel, should it not be a little smaller?  I have several 2 3/4" wheels.

Let me know.

3" Dave Brown wheels are the goal. I'm looking to go up in size on the sukoi from 2.25" as I've stuffed the landing gear off the plane a couple times and think the slightly larger wheels will help that.  I plan on being at the field Saturday from 12-3 but might be around through out the weekend for visits. If you have something throw them in the car if you don't mind.

Ed,

They are yours. 

I will not be out at Rogo until the earliest Wednesday evening for training night (heaven knows I need it!!).

Please arrange your line of credit now to pay for them*. ;D

Glad they are going to a good home (retirement home?).

* a 4.1" prop?

The heavy transaction has been completed.  Three 4.1" props for a set of Dave Brown wheels.  I am happy!

Yep something I wasn't using for something you weren't.  They have been installed and are awaiting my tortures
