I will try the local hobby shops to try and find the 9x9 prop(APC)if not I will order one.APC's are good props just wish they came in black to match the rest of the plane.................gotta love it.

RE: Aviat F-20 Tiger shark ARF
Got lot's of flights in on the tigershark this weekend.......really having a ball......but I notice while screaming down the runway on a high speed pass it seems like the front wheel was fluttering....or making the nose of the plane wobble back and forth....where can I get the thin wheels I'v read about in this forum.

somewhere (at home probably) I have photos of a Kangke F-20 modified for a retract installation. I will have to find the photos.
Wing install was easy. I seem to recall he duplicated his DC F-20 nose gear installation, using an old set of Rohm-Air gear .... and used a bubble-jett 8oz tank moved aft over the wing a bit.
What we really need is a small, light weight 90deg rotation nosegear. Doesnt even have to stear (I use to lock many of my pattern ship nose gear - rudder stearing was just fine most of the time)

There is a lot of room in the wing area, certainly more than is needed for radio gear. A round tank could be moved into that space fairly easily, and it would put the tank closer to the CG.
And yes, 90deg rotating nosegear would be great. My guess would be that steering would still be needed on the F20 (smallish rudder), but hey it may just be enough!
