Hello,
I have a share in G-AYTR, Emeraude serial number229, constructed in 1958. The Wheels have hydraulic drum brakes. The wheels are very small. Can anyone suggest where we may get a replacment set of landing gear wheels that are larger and wider. We grass strip the Emeraude and would like to add a bit of safety, especially on the wet ground!
Any help gratefully received.
Take a look at this video on u-Tube

Thanks
Colin

Hello,
You can look at www.aircraftspruce.com for larger wheels and diskbrake or look at used wheels of other emaraude or CAP 10.
If your Emeraude is from 1958, you have to know if it is built with Certus structural adhesive or not. If yes, you have to inspect the structure. It exist an aworthiness directive on it.
Sorry for my bad english.

With color of adhesive i suppose : white, it's Certus. Brown, it's not.
