Status: offline 		Hey Guys,

I'm looking for some wheels n brakes for a large turbine powered UAV up here. Unfortunately I can't seem to find much beyond the following:
4" (Intairco)
4.125" (BVM Rafale)
4" (BVM Mig-15)

Does anyone have a lead on wheel in the 5" range, with integrate o-ring brakes?

They'll need to be a decent durometer, since the plane will be on the heavy side at time. For perspective, it'll have 2x P-200's for power, flying in a variety of weight scenarios with the upper limit approaching 200lb. We'll only need to handle an aircraft around 100lb flying weight or so to start with though. There's a possibility we could go with dual main gear wheels per leg if loading per wheel becomes an issue later on.

Please Let me know if you have any option to suggest. To start with, anyone know what the diameter of the main wheels are on the Mibo A-10, and if they might be an option?

Thx,
Kelly

Status: offline 		Hey Kelly,
Glennis makes wheels for the Comp ARF Mig 29 that are 5 1/4" I believe, they use the Glennis pressure plate brake, much more aggressive stopping than an O ring brake, might be something to consider if the UAV is going to be that heavy.

I have these gear and these wheels are massive!!!! Very good shore strength in the tire, nice and solid.

Contact us with your specs, and I'll see what we can do.
