What’s everyone using on their Hatz? Landing gear will be up on the project soon and need to start thinking about this.

I've got 600-6 tires on my Classic. It's probably see lots of grass strips.

Thanks. Looks good. Figured 6x6 was probably pretty common.

Where did you get your axels from?

1930s style tall thin wheels would look pretty nice...

6.00x6 on my CB-1, though.

They came with the couple of projects I bought, but they are A/S Homebuilders Main Weld-on 600 X 6 Axle. I also bought the spring struts. They are for cubs but custom made to length to fit my gear no extra charge. I modified the axle connection from the Classic plans to fit the spring struts. The rod end wouldn't fit in the axles as shown on the plans.
