Default RE: Byron Wedell Williams Racer Build

Worked on wheels and reproducing the flying wire anchor using Stainless Steel. Made the anchor for the bottom wires also.

The wheels come with several different bushing sizes choose the 3/16 ones for the axle. Used balsa scrap to handle and seat them while gluing. The outer hub half needs to be drilled with a 3/16 bit. Screw the hub together with the self tapping screws. Redrill the axle holes to make sure they line up and to make sure there is no binding on the axle.

The bottom flying wire anchor mount is made from stainless steel bent over and has a 6cm length, It's drilled in the middle for the 8-32 tailwheel mount screw and on the ends with a 0.169 bit for the flying wire connector. Edges rounded and bent to shape.
