Try wheelbarrow inner tubes.


I've seen inner tubes work on light weight planes but I don't think they would hold up the weight of a 140" CUB. How about the whole wheelbarrow tire or something similar like a small trailer tire and buff off most of the tread? I have seen lightweight wheels also that could be made to work. Small alloy racing wheels such as used on karts? Just a random selection of thoughts here.

Anything in the RC cars section maybe?

Status: offline 		google beach stroller tires or beach cart tires. You might find something there. They are large low pressure tubes so you can roll babies and stuff across sand.

edit: I found these:

they are grey, but some vinyl dye for car interiors should take care of that.

Status: offline 		Yah I just picked up a pear of the robart 6"baloonies from my local HS and they are bigger than I thought,they'll be just about what I'm looking for my 1/4 scale cub and I'm thinking of taking the tail wheel off and replaceing it with a skid. the tail wont bounce around as much.snow ski style 3/4" wide.just a thought.

Status: offline 		I have used a set of the 60% Cub tires on a 40% Hempel Cub. They looked great. Only problem is they tend to split on the seam. I think a little RTV will fix them but for the price they should not do that. I have had 3 sets split. The ones on the 40% and 2 sets on 2 different 60%s. I also have a set of the Wheelez. They are nice and light for their size. Problem is making a bushing to use them plus the hub is about 5" wide making it a huge arm on the axle for heavier aircraft. The Airtops are nice but have to be imported and are a little costly. If money is not an issue get the Airtops, if you want to save some money the Dubros are very nice and available domestically.

Low Speed Pneumatic Tire & Wheel — 10in. x 3.00 x 4

These have a nylon hub but require bushings to fit to a 1/4" axle.

Status: offline 		Hey thats it! there's an idea. FYI the tube I pictured was for my pneumatic dolly wheel, the tube is a cheng shin 4" 4.10/3.50 as  pictured it measures 9" diameter with just enough air to make it rigid, more air more diameter but I'm sure there's a point where it begins to bulge and loose it's shape. Wish I had a plane big enough to use it on lol i like designing stuff life that.
