mounting on a cub scale wheel
 

Hello fellow Modelers, I have this slight problem i have this cub and i want to mount on some dubro scale wheels i have a shaft mounted on the landing gear the wheel collar is sort of thick and cant get on the hub cap any input on how to keep that wheel on? aloha

DuBro Cub Wheels?
 

I'm sort of in the same bind - have a 1/5th scale Cub with 5/32" axles and the Du-bro wheel is 3/16" and yes, it is a tight fit!

I do what has worked in the past. Take an Allen Wrench and cut off the majority of the shorter 'arm' - just enough to get into the hex bolt ( that is holding the collar on).

Be sure you file a nice notch in the axle for the hex bolt to slide into :-) I also like to use a thread locker + some thin CA to make sure the collar stays where it is!!!

What kit/plane are you working on?
