What they don't tell you about the wheels is that the struts come with a +6* camber on each main wheel/tire and that unless you are flying consistently at gross, you will find the outer 1/3 of the tire will wear down to the cord (while the inside tread is still almost full depth) in 150-200 hours and then have to flip the tire (or, you do like I did and have 2-4.5* shims made to reduce the camber to +1.5* for each wheel --- I've added nearly 500 hours to the tires since then and have been getting equal wear across the entire width of the tread. I typically fly between 1000 and 1150#.)
Looking good!

I built a RV 4 and found Richard to be a pain in the a$$ to deal with, hope it’s different today
