Hi Dragger,
Actually, a friend of mine (Kent) found the wheels... I was having a hard time finding a 6.00 X 6 wheel
to fit my 1-1/4" axle.... I thought I was going to have to get 5.00 X 5
As far as picking out the tire.... I wanted a good tire... This is a 4 ply , 120mph Goodyear
My Wheels and Disc brakes are Matco... only $432 for both sides.... I also bought the Matco Vertical mount Brake cylinder.
I'm glad you like the Building Log... I'm trying to make that extra effort to help others if they are building the same plane.
I wish "I" could see what others are doing on their Buttercups... But you only get a glimpse here and there...
Gotta Fly...
Mike & "Jaz" the Flying Dog
PS Ready to set the plane up and do a final check on the Lift Struts before welding them....

I am thinking about ordering a set of plans for the Buttercup as this project looks great. Keep up the great posting you hav been doing.
