I chucked the wheel pants on mine and used the LYT53 2-1/16" wheels (5 grs each) from Hobby Lobby and used the NMP aluminum extra long fixed gear axles from Central Hobbies I had laying around. This is still about a few tenths of an oz. lighter than the wheel pants, wheels, etc that come in the box and at least I know I can taxi on a grass field now based on my experience with the Eflite Edge 540. The wheel pants are .6 ozs. by the way. My kit had some warped pieces and the rear alignment dowel hole required a touch of filing to make the wing fit. Time to get the iron out and unwarp some pieces.<g>
