So you got a 3" to fit on the stock nose strut? It didnt look like it will fit. Iwill pick up a new set of wheels then and give it a try. After a rather rough landing due to grass clumps, Itweak the elevator so while on the bench I figured out why the plane has such a difficult time taking off in grass. THe motor has a lot of down thrust, so it basically is digging itself into the grass. Once Iget the blades clear of the grass though it will speed up and take off. Its that initial getting clear of the grass that has been a PITA. Last night wound up hand launching it.

Right now it has 2 1/4" mains and 2 1/2" nose.
