Anyone ever use go kart wheels for their homebuilt?


The Dawn Patrol Nieuports I have seen use Worksman bicycle wheels. These
are especially strong wheels designed for commercial bikes, the kind used on
delivery carts and 3-wheelers I have seen pedaling along in NYC.

Go cart brakes are fine too. But then on a taildragger without a tailwheel
who needs brakes? People who fly Taylorcrafts don't use their brakes;
they are mechanically operated heel brakes adapted from Cushman scooters and
aren't much help anyway.
