If anyone has one they want to sell please call or email me. I'm in WA and will cover shipping.

I am assuming you mean a wheel for tow out and ground handling purposes.

Considerations:

Pick one that can slip over the wing and clamp rather than one that has to slide on from the tip. This is especially important if you have winglets.

Pick one that can be broken down and stow in the trailer with the rest of the tow out gear.

It should not be overly heavy but also not too light either. You want some weight to keep the wing from lifting in the wind. I see pilots using their parachutes as extra weight on the wing for this. Not a good idea. If the chute were to deploy in wind it would wreak havoc.

I have a M&M Fabrication wheel by Mark Mocho. It works well. He can build one specifically for your ship.
