TRPastor: Help us out here and let us know what kind and size of plane you are talking about? A pic of the plane would help too. Take it over to Schafers Hobbies and ask their guys, wealth of knowledge there.

If it is a 4Star40, put a 1/2 in. plywood spacer between the gear and the fuselage. If it is a COMP ARF Yak, you are gonna have to go with bigger wheels and a 3-blade prop. Help us help you.
