your wheels (the foam) will last much longer. Maybe 5 or 6X if
you fly off pavement. This tid bit ought to make Van Putte smile<o:p></o:p></p>

Twenty flights were testing my new 14MZ and 2.4GHz modules in
January, and the rest were with my Abbra. All electric powered.
I did change the motor, a DualSky 6360, at flight 422 on the Abbra,
thinking the bearings were getting noisey but they really didn't need to be
changed. I'm now at 493 flights and I think I'm on my fourth set of
wheels. I also tightened the rudder cables once. I'm constantly
tweaking the transmitter as there isn't much to do on the plane.
