I have always purchased wheels for my aero-planes from aerodromeRC. The "Short" kits do provide the makings of wheels. I have never tried to make a pair before. Time to learn a new skill. |

This is really great. So, tell us about the materials and how you went about this project. |

Wheel cores...balsa laminated between thin plywood...a sandwich. Tires foam chord. Bearings brass tubing. Emboss the folder paper to give relief to the spokes. Circle cutter from Micro mark. Never did this before but me thinks I shall from now on.... cost effective...keeps the build price down....sort of like our economy! |
