Terry, I have been using a replacement wheel recommended by Kim Prout which I am
sure is the same one Dennis is using.  So far the wheel has performed much 
better
than the original one which lasted less than one day.  Kim Prout and I were
aggressively taxing my plane prior to the first flight when the wheel 
disintegrated.


Anyway the wheel is basically an industrial caster made by Colson, check out 
their
catalog.

I went with the round grey tread series 2 vs the flat tread which is what Europa
provide.  They are realtively inexpensive at less than $10 each and will need
a bushing for the proper bolt diameter which was also available at the local
hardware store.

Does anyone have a recommendation for outrigger wheels, something a
little higher quality than those included in the kit?
