wow mregister.....i wanna fly there with you! looks like it would be awesome to say the least. it's beautiful there. as for landing in rough stuff...larger wheels will help. i use three inch diameter and they work fine on our grass field. i dont know if you'd be able to go larger or not. i have a set of four inch wheels and the hub is quite a bit thicker than the three's. i'll bet the fours would work nicely for you. let us know how you make out. "happy flying!"
