Ok, so, so far I did one flight with the new wheels. To me it seems a little more wing rocky in high alpha but I also had a new carbon prop so I may be not used to the 28x9 carbon instead of the 27x10 wood before. Knife edge seemed the same.

Switched back to the 27x10 and flew much better. My edge tracks really nice in the grass with these wheels and there is no squeaks or chatter no matter how fast you land. Very smooth. You guys that fly alot will have to try them and report.

Certainly a lot of different wheel choices! I don't fly every day or every weekend but I see these as having a benefit of having to do less maintenance and of course the "POP" they bring to your plane. I LIKE! Thanks for posting @witchfingers .

I almost pulled the trigger on these but I think I'm going to see how everybody's test flights go.View attachment 42941

Those look very nice. I sent them a request for more info....specs, weight etc. I'll post their reply.

I have a spare set of the ones in my posts. They came as a set of 4 so if anyone wants a set of the white and black K2 wheels with bearings and the tubing, p,m me. They are 110 mm.

I got a reply from DIS.....their 110mm 6 spoke aluminum rims are 9 oz (each) including the bearings....about double the weight of White Rose 4" wheels. Their width is 7/8".

OUCH! I ordered a couple of cool sets of 110mm and 120mm off of Ebay. One set is in USA and the other was kick ass but coming from Australia so those will be a week or two. If they are that heavy I guess I'll use them on my 40 centers.

Yesterday I found wheels around 5oz if remember well,and usually the inline roller wheels are lighter than scooter wheels

Problem is roller blade wheels are super small. Need 4" (100mm) or larger for 35% and larger planes or they look out of place.

The two sets I ordered are 110 and 120mm from two different mfg's to test the weight. Either way I know I can use them on my two 40+% planes that will need wheels next year.
