Default RE: Question about Taildraggers

I was wondering about that. I actually swapped out the wheels. The wheels that came with it were foam. I swapped in some real rubber wheels however, I made sure to keep them the same size. I believe that they were 2 1/4" wheels. The Rambler has retracts which, in the long term limits me in terms of how large I can go, however, I plan on using the plane as a fixed gear, low-wing trainer in the near term.

What size wheels are typically used on grass? It is quite bumpy. I will be going to the local club meeting for the first time in a few weeks and I will be sure to inquire about this.

Thanks,

Jeff
