Thanks Ken!
My field has both grass and a paved runway. Did you have issues with your Century Jet Retracts? One of mine has some slop in the bushing which concerns me a little.
Acdii, I removed W2 completely in the wheel wells, then used balsa to make the walls which gives the area considerable strength. I found a cup which had the same dimension
of the wheel well and wetted balsa and stuck in the cup to create the perfect curve.Let it dry for a couple hoursthen trimmed to fit. No worries. I did have to touch up with some filler in a couple spots.
