[NSRCA-discussion] Wheels

[Stuart Chale]

I bought and weighed a bunch of different wheels and found the Dubro lite
wheels to be the lightest of the ones I bought or had.  16.6 gms for a pair
of 2 ¼” wheels.  They hold up fairly well and I fly off of asphalt.  I do
store my planes hanging from the tail though.  I replaced one set last
season.

You should take the load off the wheels when storing the model....for any
brand, foam type tread. Stands work fine or you can stand the model on its
nose with wheels against the wall. Or hang it from thetail with wheels
against the wall. Either way, you're taking the load off the wheels.

 

I wrote about the wheel technique I use before....I use the lightest foam
treaded wheels I can find (something around 8-10 grams for a 2 3/4") and ca
a ring of bike inner tube on the foam. The wheels last much much longer even
when flying off pavement.

Hello all,    What wheels are everyone having the best luck with on our 2
meter planes?  Will   I need to make stands to keep the planes on for
storage to keep the tires from   flat spottong badly?  Thanks in advance.
