RE: Top Flite Staggerwing
Fred : Bit of a long story: Tuesday would have been the second flight. Got to the flying field and discovered the the wheels/tires that I am using (Robart treaded 4" with foam inserts) were lop-sided due to being tied down in my trailer. They just are not made for a 20lb models and were bulging on the side, which made them rub on the landing gear legs, like really bad, like pull extreamly to the right. If I took them off and worked the rubber they would probably have straightened out, but I couldn't get them off cause good ole 'Denny" just about wealded them on with "locTite. Swear I'd never do that again . So home I went, Grinded the wheels off and ordered a set of DuBro 4" solid rubber.
Since my local hobby shop has now closed down (victim of the economy) I ordered from "Tower" which I received yesterday (Friday)
NOW !!! would you know it I ordered the only fricken set "O" wheels that DONT come in a pair, thats right I only got 1. Go figure !
ordered another (1) wheel should be here next tuesday EXCEPT I got "bloody" Jury Duty starting Monday
See Fred aren't you sorry you asked??? So round 2 should be some time next week, I'll certainy report in, I will also be posting pics of the flying wires
