@Nigel DellAre they really 500g for the pair?

Ron, just weighed the parts and they come to 488g so pretty much, very substantial with moulded tyre that is sandwiched between two side frames and bolted together with aluminium spaces so will look into saving weight although on the SE5 probably not necessary, I think these were designed for the Sopwith kits so will withstand an earthquake 😂

Thanks Nigel, the H9 DVII is listed at an auw of approx 12Kg so what's a few G extra going to make, plus it will be in front of the C of G which could also help as it would seem that, depending on engine, quite a bit of lead maybe required in the nose.

What diameter are they @Ron Gray?

[Ron Gray]

¼ scale Kev, so approx 7"
