Default RE: wheels - Where to mount???

Mike's recomendation works great on a very smooth golf green like strip or on a paved strip. For lumpy grass fields I like to double the distance. On narrow winged designs this generally means the axle is at the leading edge. On wider wings like this one the axle would be more like at around the 10% chord point. Putting the axle much closer results in a higher percentage of nose over landing rolls.
