Ok so here is the before pictures on the Bushmaster:





And here are the after...... Way more better! lol





The old foam wheels weighed 72 grams each, and the Kavan 6" wheels weigh 96 grams each and look tons better!!!
I cant wait to fly it now!!

Those look amazing

Yes I wish that Sig had some better pictures on their site to represent these wheels better because you cant really tell the size of them through the pictures they provide

Should put some old Trexler wheels on there!!

Should put some old Trexler wheels on there!!

Yeah those are true balloon wheels but the biggest Trexler wheels I found were 4" not to mention they were fairly heavy

[MENTION=3978]wfahey415[/MENTION] you said "I am about to drop some serious coin on a warbird, radial and the pieces parts to go with it" Please do tell!! Corsair? AT-6? Or even a Zero?

I ordered the Hangar 9 60cc Corsair last night. I am still thinking about what motor to put in it.

Evolution 7 cylinder 77cc radial? Bolts right in, looks awesome but runs on glow fuel.
Saito FG84r3? Takes a bit of a mod to fit and the reviews on the motor have been less than stellar. Runs on gas and sounds great.

Moki radials are all too big for this plane.

I seriously considered a Ziroli kit and may still do that down the road.

Nice!! So are you going all out and doing such things as operational engine cooling flaps as well? I have always liked the corsair, I have flown a couple of the smaller ones and to say they were a bit of a handful is a little under stated lol I think the larger models would be more stable. I understand about trying to get away from glow... The Zirolli planes are very cool! Much more work..

I am not going to go all out scale on this one. It will be my warbirds fun fly plane. But I am not looking for cookie cutter either.
