That's a very good point.Â* When a friend landed out in his new V3 in
rough ground, he lost both wing tip wheels and a good bit of the skin of
the under sides of the wings.Â* We found the wheels with the skin
attached to the bolts and embedded nuts.Â* He promptly replaced his tip
wheels with a pair which were glued on with contact cement after the
wing tips were repaired, of course.

I've seen some custom wheels built on to the existing tip skids, two varieties.
The "Walter Quitt" wheels that Rex Mayes put on my 29 are great. Don't seem to do anything to performance, but help with ground handling. Williams Soaring Center sell the kit for I think $175 a pair.
Just uploaded a photo to the "Miscellaneous" photo album of the ASW27 Yahoo group (group link below).

The ASW27 Yahoo group is a great resource.

I installed the wheels made by Rex Mayes. Works well. I like that they are attached using double faced tape (I use a good thick 3M product) which can "break away" without worrying about taking a chunk of the wing with them. My $0.02.
