White Rose Engineering Main Gear Wheels

We are proud to introduce a line of main gear wheels to complement out tail wheel products. They are all machined from 6061 billet aluminum to high precision tolerances. Our top of the line wheels feature 5 spokes with the tires recessed well into the rims for excellent stability and ground handling. These tires stay on the rims and do not roll under or scrape the wheel pants. Our wheels feature Igus lubricant impregnated bushings on both sides. They can be seen in the top pictures at right.

They are available in 5", 4.5” , 4”, and 3 .5" diameter. The 5" and 4.5” diameter wheels are 1.25” wide and weigh less than 5.5 ounces each. The 4” and 3.5" diameter wheels are 1” wide and weigh less than 4.0 and 2.3 ounces each. The 5.5" through the 4.0” wheels are designed for the ¼” titanium axles. The 3.5" wheels come with 3/16" hub bushings set up for our 3/16 titanium axles.

The 1/4" titanium axles are designed to provide 3 wheel positions or spacing from the landing gear strut. This should give plenty of flexibility for centering the wheel in the wheel pants. The wheel is retained with "C" clips that snap into grooves machined in the axles. Two 1/4" aluminum spacers are provided with each axle to accommodate the wheel positioning previously described. The end of the axles are drilled and tapped for 6-32 SHCS which can be used to support the outside of the wheel pants while still allowing their easy removal.
