RE: Wheel size for patriot XL
I had one of these..... try to get the largest front wheel that you can fit since the ground clearance for the prop is small and taking off from a grass field causes you to "cut the grass"!!!
I remember trying to get the longest length that I could at the nosewheel strut so the friont of the plane would get even more ground clearance. Once in the air, it flies nice, mine had the flap option that made landings easier in 0 wind conditions
