Gus, thanks for the reply. The local hobby shop has those axles. I picked up the pack and thought, "They seem way too heavy for this electrical plane."

The Wattage instructions just say to mount the wheel on the landing gear, no mention of bending or axles or other parts.

So my question: Is "bending" a 90 degree angle into the bottom of the landing gear strut a common part of kit assembly?
