which wheel did you get. The Petes work great, tire stays on the hub. The other tail gear that has a bracket on only one side will not retain the tire. A hard turn or a bonch and slide and the tire will outrun the plane.

I used the titanium wheel from rc blimp and while it's the strongest wheel I've ever seen and also very well made it has very little clearance between the bottom of the carbon "caster" and the ground and it always digs into the grass so with that said if I flew from black top or at triple tree I would use the titanium wheel otherwise I like the Pete's carbon wheel better but it's not made as well.
