New option of Turf-glide big/wide main wheels and tires on AR-1 that run at 10 to 12 psi and give extra deflection and wider area for grass field operations. The package comes with wider 6 inch wheels and dual caliper hydraulic disc brakes activated by Matco Master cylinder. Also comes with wider wheel-pants to match.

The option costs $1500.

Spring fiberglass covers?
We do not use fiberglass leaf springs. We make our landing gear from 7075-T6 Aluminum leaf spring. The kind you get from Grove Landing Gear but we make it ourselves.
There is fiberglass airfoil shaped fairings that go over the 7075 landing gear leaf. That still will be there. No difference
