Dubro Low Bounce wheels help reduce hops during landing. There is a cost in additional weight. Of course, a pilot needs to control descent during final approach and relax elevator but on a model like the E-flite AT-6 these wheels help stop the dreaded hopping.

These are a perfect fit for the E-Flite 1.2m-1.5m warbird series foamies. I installed mine on the AT-6. Hub is exactly the right diameter. Perfect fit for the retracts (approx. 1/8 smaller diameter than the stock foam wheels). Very responsive while taxiing and during takeoffs and landings and slightly narrower than stock. Definitely soften my rougher landings. The only thing to note for my installation was that the profile of the tires is different than stock. The tires are rounded vs. flat-sided as the factory foam tires are. As a result, the sidewalls of the tires balloon out beyond the edges of the hub. I therefore needed to install a bushing/spacer on the axle before sliding the wheel on to prevent the sidewall of the tire from rubbing against the landing gear. I used some leftover prop shaft sizing rings from APC propellers that fit well enough to work.

I use these type tires for all my planes that I can (if they fit). Really helps with those less than perfect landing. They are worth the change.

A must for those occasional rough landings. I replace all my wheels with these when they fit.
