The wheels and brakes are ...Im not sure if they are gene Barton or Sierra, or ??? . I got em in the deal for the gear.
The more I fly this plane, the more I like it. So forgiving and the stall speed is really low. Never seems to drop a wing.
Doing some research for my own wheels and brakes I came across a Robart product that certainly looks the part.

As I gather the pieces for my Cherokee I'm beginning to wonder if just getting my private ticket and buying a real one would have been cheaper?
