Re: 40% Carden Edge 540 - BBT - Build Thread

So here's the purchase I made last week for this plane!!.....

These are AirManufacturing, polished aluminum wheels with the curved spoke design with a diameter of 4 3/8". They have integrated bearings in them.

Rex at AirMan is a top notch guy and made me up this set - I had him do a bit of extra machining on them and he got them down to only 3.9oz each, which includes the steel axles and bearings (my wheels are shown on his website).



These will replace the current foam wheels I have installed and I will leave off the wheel pants so I will save about 2oz on the plane and will have a bit more bling
