[sm=confused.gif] I wonder what the cryptic "awaiting approval" seen in the Glennis Aircraft posting means. Are they the folk who will pick up where Williams Bros. left off?
No, Dennis is not the one picking up the Williams Bro's line.
he is on the "awaiting approval" crap list here because he as a manufacturer
has had to come online here all too often and defend his Company and his line of wheels/tires.

so that being said, the high and all mighty's here have put him on their "A" list.

his wheels yes are costly, and heavy. BUT, when you look at the price for a pair of Robart wheels,
and than look at a pair of Glennis wheels, the difference is not alot.

read what Pat just posted above, and he is spot on. for a 4000.00 dollar aircraft, the wheels are
insignificant. why pay for cheap wheels for it. on a less costly warbird, its not as big of a deal.

and as far as them being heavy, well my 36.5 lb PCM 109 sets on here mains and tailwheel all
day long, 24/7, 52 weeks of the year, and they do not flat spot at all. try that with another wheel.
so, maybe they are a little heavy, but they are not going to go out of round, any time soon
