<DIV>Actually I made the tires last until the Nats and then I changed them. On a
positive note Pensacola at Spencer field is a excellent place to fly (for Tony).
I look forward to the contest every year.</DIV>

<DIV> I do all those things you suggest, however the spindly struts on
my prophecy, </DIV>
<DIV>sway and lean and flex so bad that the wheels don't last long. Every
time I go to the contest at Pensacola Fla. I wear out a set of tires. It's
just the nature of the pavement composition. I also fly a Focus and that
gear is stiffer and doesn't flex as bad and the tires wear quickly on it
also. The thing that happened to the Focus tires was the rims warped and
came apart. I can fly on grass no problem with the
Foamies. I burned 34 gal. of fuel last year and went through 2 sets of
tires on both planes.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>Jim,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>You'll get a lot more life with foam tires on
grass and especially pavement if you let the plane roll out after landing
before turning. Toe-in is tough on tires as well and isn't necessary on a
pattern plane. Any time you're dragging a foam tire, whether by skidding
it in a turn or constant skidding with toe-in, it's like rubbing a sponge
across 30-grit sandpaper. The treaded 3" Dave Brown's I flew all last
summer on both grass and pavement still have good tread showing after
about 20 gallons of fuel worth of flying.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV> I think you can get the wheels from Piedmont. However
my set is now the Dave Brown wheels. I don't expect them to last long
either.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>Hey ya'll,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I am looking for some 3" wheels and was wondering
what the lightest ones where. Most of my flying is off of grass
and they are going to be surrounded by wheel pants. So looks are
not important. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I know people talk about Dave Brown and Sullivan
skylite, but I have no idea on the weight of these wheels. The
factory ones that came with my Focus are very light, but I don't think
you can get them separately. Any help would be greatly
appreciated. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Thanks in advance!</FONT></DIV>
