Hey guys. Hello from Melbourne Australia again. The wheels & tires look amazing. If you don’t mind saying can you tell me where you got them from? I will definitely buy a pair for my Xcub 60cc. Awesome Vid guys. Keep them coming
And Hello again from Holland Michigan USA! Thanks for your great comments! I and I'm sure many others are very saddened that the owner of PR Bushweels has passed on ending the supply of the 11.6 diameter Ballon wheels, I spoke with him on the phone and he was a fine man in Alaska! There are some sets of them floating around however, you can find them on rcgroups or one of the other forums out there, they go for around $600 US, Ihave an extra set but I'm hanging onto them hor now:) you can get my contact info from www.rctwins.com Rich
RCTWINS thank you kind sir. Yes i was aware of the sad passing of the creator of PR wheels. I thought you mist have had another brand. In any case they look great. Maybe one day someone will fill the void of that the artist from Alaska left when he left our world. May he rest in peace. Thank you for replying and pls keep making those vids. 👍✌️🙏
I’m on the waiting list....for now I’m getting lots of time on my carbon z cub ss and a turbo timber both on floats...the apprentice will be getting floats on soon too
I put floats on the apprentice. We ended up putting a water proof servo in each float. Also you must water proof the fuselage so water can't splash in the front or it will flood the servo area. Next I installed flaps which made it easier to land and more stable at slow speeds. Of course it lead to a larger motor so I could take off from the grass or snow!
The a frame gear is from Horizon and we did beef that up because it was just too weak, the tires and axels are from PR Bushwheels but that company is now closed, the tires do get sold on places like rcgroups.com and typically sell for around $650 per set, the come with the springs and axles, the tires on this plane are 11.6 diameter but they also came in 8.5 inch, the 8.5 inch actually fly better than the larger tires.

@@rctwins7913 Thank you, I saw your gear articulates and didnt think the horizon sprung gear did. I was hoping you would say a different manufacturer for the wheels and tires, Thank you for the quick reply!

Rodney Tanis thankd my friend yes i will definitely have a look.
My challenge for you fellas is to put this plane on floats and put out videos to show the rest of us how to...so I can finally buy this kit
Shouldn't be too tough, ill noodle on it, still think you should just buy the bushmaster

CY makes some fiberglass 1/3 scale floats. The secret to lining it up is the CG of the float must match the CG of the plane, any plane.

CY? Do you have a link? Balsa USA also has float kits. I think plenty of folks would like to do this.
Can you help point me to where you got the landing gear, wheels, and axles and such?
