1/2 A Proto wheels?
« on: June 03, 2017, 08:36:55 AM »
I am trying to find wheels for 1/2 A Proto speed.  I believe they have to be 7/8".  I built my own model and need landing gear and wheels.  The carbon fiber landing gear I have found online but have no clue where to start for wheels.

It is my first attempt at speed.  I have a CS .049 that I picked up used.  It will be a 2 line control system.  I designed the plane after looking at all the pictures I found online and using the rules to stay as small as possible.  I don't believe that I will be anywhere near competitive enough for Nats but I will try to get the best speeds I can out of my skill level (serious beginner).  The 2 clubs I have close by fly mostly aerobatics and for fun and I haven't met anyone who is really into speed.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

With a good CS.049 you'd be surprised. The prop I'm using came off a CS 049 on a torky that did 93mph. It's on my torky now, I'm trying to tame my handle and LO location. I should break 90 mph with it too.
