Big wheels help make bush planes?

SDM Yellow Bee with 1.5" Du-Bro mag wheels. These wheels make take-offs and landings so much easier. This plane can take off of wood chips or mulch with these wheels. The wheels weigh little and make the plane so much more versatile. Touch downs and landings are a bit easier with large wheels, because small pebbles and sticks and such don't cause the plane to nose over.

For a close up of the wheels see my Feb. 15, 2007 post on "How to repair your plane."
