Hi Tom,
I can bring the wheels I promised to you today if you like.
Potential wheel for mini....many sizes available......would need to add some
kind if simple spoke and hub system.

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,
Tom
