 |
|
Has anyone used Cleveland wheels and brakes on the 601XL. I have a chance to buy a set of almost new 5.00X5 Cleveland wheels, brakes and axle's for $250. They have brand new tires and tubes on them and did 4 take off and landings on turf before he went up one size. They are off of a Cessna 150. The AP at the airport says that they are in excellent shape. I do not know what kind of weight penalty I would incur if any? If you have used this setup, let me know. The AP seems to think that they would be superior to the grove wheels for performance. Still looking for spring gear if anyone has some.......

I haven't used Clevelands on my XL but had them on my 172 and later 182. I also retrofitted a set to my Aeronca Champ where they worked great. Cleveland makes a great product and unlike the Grove are FAA approved for production aircraft. Don't get me wrong, the Grove wheels are very well made... the main difference is that the company hasn't jumped through the hoops required by the FAA so they are currently approved only for experimental aircraft.
If they will fit on the gear you plan to use I would say it sounds like a good deal, especially if axles are included. You can use master cylinders from cleveland, grove, matco or whoever you want.
