Wheel Well Inserts ???
 
I am planning to build another Balsa USA Enforcer. I am looking for plastic inserts for the cut outs in the wing for the retracts. I did this once before but don't know where I got the inserts. I think they were part of a different kit or ARF. I hope they would be available as parts.

Thanks for any help.

Ive seen plastic drinking cups used for the wheel well portion of the cutout. From there Id think the rest would be easy to do with balsa.

Cheers.

I made mine from a two liter soda bottle and some plastic sheet that I had.

I used some 'large' cups from Sonic Drive In (they were foam) and used them for a 4" wheel - BIG drink :)

I made mine from wetting balsa sheeting and putting it in a tape roll to dry, then just cut to fit the size you need.
