Narrow wheels?
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 Kristian Denmark |

Re: Narrow wheels?
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.

Re: Narrow wheels?
I use Kevan lightweights off grass and they fit without modding the pants any wider.

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