Sorry Tony do not have any to install and I build a set of wheel pants many years ago out of balsa and ply, a lot of work and a lot more shaping and sanding. I know someone who is pretty good at building wheel pants LOL.

It came out around 36 lbs difficult to weigh this size keep getting different numbers but it hovers around 36 lbs which I am happy with. When I first started it was 44 lbs 10 oz.

Wheel pants? You mean those egg shaped things that last one landing?

I never could get them to last more than a few flights, but also the grass at our field is not cut that short because if we did , we long spells of no rain and all the grass would die.

That's where your field needs to be like ours. It's all weeds so even scalping it with the mower in the heat of the summer can't kill it.
