JETSETF18

I saw a picture of a HET F-18 at Warbirds with double front wheels. Anyone know where I can pick one of these up with the matching rear gear? It looks very good on the jet. Link to picture--------http://www.warbirds-rc.com/ExperimentCenter/X-001/L-DSC02234.JPG

That front gear was custom made by Markos of www.warbirds-rc.com and isn't available as an assembly.

Jetset:

as long as you use a long enough wire, what you need to get are the 3/32" strut 90 degree axle adapters from du-bro, instead of using a single side wheel axle you just slide it in to have equal lengts of axle on both sides of the adapter, then just insert your wheels and put collars on them, that's what I used on my HET minifan f-18 and are currently using on my EJF MIDI f-18 but for 5/32" struts, see photo below, quality is poor but you get the idea...

I spoke to Markos and he gave me the parts lists. Very nice guy with a lot of information to share. Here is what he said:::
The parts where ones I had in my shop, can quite remember where I got it from, but I've attached a picture of it in the hopes it will help.

I used the following on my FA-18:

2 x 1 1/2" Sullivan tail wheels
2 x 3/4" Sullivan tail wheels

1 x Sullivan Tail Wheel Bracket part # S859 with a 1/16" spring axle

1 x "T" Bracket

1 x Steering Arm (strictly for looks.)

The "T" on the nose gear was something I added a few months after running the plane on a single wheel up in the nose gear. It worked fine also, but decided to make it look a little more scale.
