Narrow wheels?

[KristianDK]

Hi!

I am doing some make-over on my H9 Extra 260 35% and want to install my wheel pants, but I have a problem. I fly on grass and therefore I have to use bigger wheels than included in the kit. I have been flying with 110 mm (4.33 inch). wheels for now and it works fine, but the are way too wide to fit the wheel pants. I have already trimmed the holes in the wheel pants and it is not a problem to get the holes big enough to fit the diameter of the wheel, but the width is a problem. My current wheels are from Graupner and are 43 mm wide (1.7 inch) and I am looking for some wheels with a maximum width of about 30 mm. (1.18 inch).

Is there anyone who could help me finding some?

Best Regards

I don't know of any wheels that will fit off hand. I have the same plane and fly off grass also. I've been using 4" sullivans on mine and only had to open up the bottom of the pants front and back a little. You could try the wheel pants from the 46% ultimate. Also you might do a search for White Rose Engineering (I think) they make some very nice aluminum wheels that aren't too wide. Good luck on your search.

Buy the Du-Bro Lites, 4.5"

I use Kevan lightweights off grass and they fit without modding the pants any wider.

I agree.....I have had two sets of these and they are great on grass. I am currently using them on my 35% Extra and flying on grass with no issues and they weigh practically nothing.

I went to the Graphtech CF 35-40%wheel pant, slightly larger but have lots of room for the 4" Dubro wheel and tire.

Thank you for your replies!

Could any of you tell me the width of the Kavan 4" light wheels?
Thank you very much!
