Thanks, John,
What event was that? I'd like to know more about your experience with
payload events. One problem we have is not knowing what weight we
probably have to carry to win the event.
I'm not only concerned about wheels, I'm also concerned about the
landing gear wires themselves not being up to carrying the weight. The
main gear on the Mini-Apprentice is a lighter gauge than the nose gear.
Jake is giving me some larger wheels, and I'm considering making some
really giant ones out of foam that would be mounted on struts directly
from the wing.
Cheers,
Tom

Tom, you really do great work. The wing looks very good One more thing not to overlook You will need extra large wheels in order
to get an Wining weight off the ground. In the weight lifting event I took part in I carried 24 pounds of lead, the winner carried 24.5
pounds. We each made a complete circuit of the field and landed. The difference was He had 12 inch wheels and I only had 4 inch
wheels and barely got off the ground before running out of field. Just a thought. John

That is something we'll find out next month. Hopefully.
Now picture the wing half again longer...
Cheers,
