RE: Wheels
Tim, I'd gladly pay $45 for a pair of spoked 3" wheel. The proctor wheels are upwards of $100. What brand are these? There's a Czech company that's making very VERY nice spoked wheel for ultra-lights (electric, free-flight) for around $20 a pair but the max size is only about 2 1/2". Bummer.
What absolutely kills me is that I had a pair of 3 3/4" spoked wheels that I bought years and years ago that would have been perfect on my EIII. But stupidly, I figured I'd never use them and sold them on Ebay about one month before getting into RC.
