Picked up a partially built DCU MIG-29 last year and I am getting it finished for electric fans. These are the after market wheels (no brakes) that came in the kit box and I am not sure which wheels they are. It is a 3" wheel with a 3/16" axle and the area that would fit the brake is 1 5/16" in diameter and 1/2" deep. I am interested in finding the brakes that fit these wheels as they are nice wheels. Any ideas???

Look home made to me as there seems to be no bush for the axle and running on aluminium is not good!

Good catch, love it when another set of eyes gets the job done. Didn't even notice. That solves that problem as I will just re-shoe the bird with some proper wheels and brakes of my own choosing rather than try to make something work that came in the box. Appreciate the reply.

Any pictures of your jet.

The first photo is of the DCU MIG-29 (I had about ten years ago and it flew with twin OS .91's and Ramtec fans. It was done up in military grey. I also had a Top Gun MIG-29 (photo two) that I flew for about 8 years with the OS .91 and Hurricane Fan set up and it was done up in the blue show team colors. The next photo is the fuselage in primer and trying to seal up pin holes. I included a photo of the paint scheme and a photo of the vertical stabs in paint. Some decals and clear coat and they will be done. This one will have electric fans and I have built the cockpit from scale. I am trying to get it completed for the Jets Over Whidbey event at the end of August.
