Hmmm... thicker wing anchors are probably a good idea but an inch and a
quarter thick is probably overkill.  Or did you mean .125"? :-)

Ughh, that's a small tire size.  The tire is the only shock absorber
you've got and those little Cessna 150 tires are pretty small.  I assume
you already had the wheels...otherwise, I'd go with a 6 x 600 instead. 
With that size, tires go all the way up to 800 x 6, which is pretty
close to the 800 x 4 Cub wheel.
