Hi Leigh, It was really just a bit tongue in cheek re the ‘arms trading’ requirement. Would I have to go to the Minister to sign off? However the 2 protos had very small wheels to reduce profile drag and are not good for outlandings or rough strips. Yes, I am going to look for a ‘braked’ replacement wheel as a option but then there is a lot of work enlarging the wheel well. Production models had decent wheels.

Subject: Re: [Aus-soaring] Boomerang Tyre Hi Chris, Time to change it to something else that is close in size, like a Tost wheel. I'm sure other ES60 owners have done something similar. I replaced the Spitfire/Wirraway tailwheel hub on my GB and saved a kg. and a half in weight.

In their list it is a military tyre for the tail wheel of Hawker Hurricanes only. Since it is military The UK government require an ‘end user undertaking/certificate’ before it can be sold to me. There is a lot of work in getting one of those things signed off.
