Can anyone tell me what kind/brand of wheel pants will work on a sig 4* .60, stock landing gear.

I bought some Funtana 90 pants that I was going to use, but now I'm not sure as we have a grass field...you just need to make sure wherever you fly has short grass.

The wheel wells need to be lengthened by about 3/8" inch for the standard 4*60 wheel to fit. You could always run the pants a little higher than normal, which would give you better clearance.

Better yet is there a manufacturer that makes a line of wheel pants according to the size of wheel you want to cover?

I used Bruce Tharpe Venture 60 wheel pants on my four star 60 kit

What size wheels are you going to use? Sea Commander has wheel pants, as does Stans Fiberglass Classics, and Fiberglass Specialists. Or just look on the peg board at your LHS, and you can probably find a set that will work just fine. You can expect some differences in flying characteristics though. Remember to rebalance the model with the wheel pants on.

Thanks for the imfo guys. I'll probably go with 3 1/2" wheels (1 size up due to grass field.) This is my first build after a 17 year break (kids in college) I had a stroke 1 year ago and decided to try again, good exercise for my hand for the winter months. It's been mostly a one hand build but it's turning out O.K.

Ok, I'm going to re-phrase the question,

Let's have some links to your favorite giant scale wheel pant suppliers!!! :-)

Fiberglass Specialitys or Stans, either or, both good products.
