| Rubber motor installed. 2 loops of 1/8 tan SS. Test flights indicate that it wants to fly. Needs some trim, wants to drop the left wing. |

| Thanks and yes, Brian. Thanks, John, the wheels were made from scrap black foam. Go to this link: http://tinyurl.com/29zmzt
It will take you to a thread at SmallFlyingArts. Page 15 and scroll down to message #288. I illustrate and describe the procedure that I use. |

| Oh, the wheels are I" in dia and laminated from two pieces of approx 1/8" thick foam. |

| That plane looks great. Is that tail wheel foam also? |

| Thanks, flyguy 172. The tailwheel is foam. It looks better in the picture than in real life. It's punched from a scrap of black foam and is about 3/8" diameter. |
