Default Type of wheels?

I want to inquire on whether or not the squared off wheels are better or the rounded wheels...I am buying bigger wheels for my Hobbistar 60 Trainer because my prop continually cuts the grass during take off--sometimes i cant get off the ground!

Rounded wheels are better. Most scale wheels are rounded.

Yeah plus square wheels don't roll as good. They seem to just stick on the flat side when you start to taxi.




Sorry, I just ate a bunch of M&M's and drank a big cup of coffee.

I wanted to say that but ya beat me to it!!!! OH well maybe next time.

ssliva ---- Maybe you need a different prop, or maybe you can drop the nose gear down just a bit. I don't know your whole problem but I have had students put a larger tire on the nose only to get the prop up a bit, might change your takeoff a little but it can help.

Now I have to get smart seeing Joe swipped my thunder. " Try cutting the grass shorter "


Sorry about that. ENJOY!!!!! RED
