Super Cub Landing Gear Upgrade

I have the Super Cub from hobbyzone and the plane flies very stable you can handle on it and its loud very well or if the grass is short you can take off on a runway it does very well when taking off from payment or cement when you try to take off in grass you need to hold the elevator up just to keep the tail on the ground and if you don't the small foam wheels that came on the plane will catch in the grass and roll it up on its nose causing the propeller to hit the ground. There are many different options available to replace the landing gear with larger wheels however the larger the wheels the more weight you add. I found a set of wheels that are slightly larger in diameter and thinner so that they roll easier in high grass and it takes off much better in higher grass I purchased these from my local hobby shop Hayes Hobby House for about $3. As you can see from the pictures it adds little more height to the bottom of the airplane for more clearance as well
