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 ?

Food for thought.... If using tube, you might want to put a hinge in the middle, like how David Gibson did his 1/3 scale Sopwith Triplane landing gear. While I think that gear was solid steel rod, my point is that a hinge in the middle of the axle would facilitate a tube design nicely. Here's a photo of the mechanism he had:
