Default RE: Fun with Flat Foam

Yes, I need to know..

What type landing gear? I am thinking about a steerable tailwheel for the Nasty, but haven't gone searching through my son's toys to see what I can come up with. I have 2" foam wheels on the front but the rudder actually drags on the ground. I used the landing gear plans from the Nasty build guide....cf about 8" long with 'music wires' about 1" long, bent to 45° then wrapped to the cf with thread, tacked with glue. Stuck the wheels on and dabbed hot glue on ends to keep tires on. Works well.

Love the homemade decal ideas. I am going to do that. I've been looking for the star and bar design in all the craft shops. My search is over. Thanks again.

Would it be possible for you to share the designs? I could pm my email address or maybe post them here?
