Very nice ART WORK.....................get it??.................ART is your name and I am complimenting you on your.............never mind

I would like to know what you are thinking about using for a axle and wheels...........any thoughts?
The reason I ask is I was wondering if anyone is going to use tubing instead of spring steel for the axles.......I want to use tubing on the 1/2 scale DH2 and other 1/3 scales Need to know pros/cons...
Also are the DH2 wheels fit the Dubro size or do they need to be bigger ?

HPA
Ha Ha....that was a good one.....

I will use quarter inch music wire axle and probably the old BUSA baby buggy wheels (I still have a couple pairs left)......if they look bad or buckle on me, then I will use Dubro wheels.
Tubing for axles? Check with the full scale (7/8 scale) Nieuport guys and use what they are using, but a little smaller. If it works for full scale aviation, then it should work for models......we just have to find the proper material and wall thickness.
