Default RE: Noob to War Plane

Ok so I came up with my solution... hopefully it works out well. I did some brainstorming of parts available and seeing how the closest hobby store is like a half hour away and i didnt even know if they would have it i came up with my own control arm. I took an arm from the servos I have and bored it out to fit in a collar shaft that fits the wire I am using for the tail wheel... 1/8 i believe. I'm at work so I cant look at it but i believe thats correct.

Anyway the plastics a tight fit and I epoxied it and it all seems pretty solid... what do you think?



Also stupid question here... how do I attach my wheels to my landing gear? I'm a bit confused.

I have thislandinggear andthesewere recommended for the axles. But unlike other available bolt on axles such as these, the ones I got are threaded all the way through. Which makes the wheels turn like crap and not smooth at all. If my assumption is correct and I order the correct axles this time. How then do you secure the wheels so the spin freely without side to side motion. Do I place to collar shafts on both sides of the wheel to keep it in place?
