3To form the wheels (K) r cut two 4W-square pieces from %" MDF. Draw diagonals to mark the center of each blank. Using a compass, draw a ^'-diameter circle at the centerpoint of one blank. Then stack-cut the wheels to shape with your bandsaw, and sand the edges smooth. Separate the parts.

4Rout a W" round-over along both edges of each wheel (K) [Drawing 2, Photo Bj. Then bore a 34" hole W deep at the center of each wheel to receive the axle (J). Now drill a shank hole, centered in the W hole in each wheel, for screw-mounting the wheels to the axle. Position a wheel onto the axle, and drill a pilot hole into the axle using the shank

hole as a guide. Repeat at the other end of the axle. Set the wheels and axle aside.

5Glue and clamp together the struts (H) and brace (I), with the brace flush with the top ends and back edges of the struts. Using the shank holes in the struts as guides, drill pilot holes into the brace. Do not drive the screws. Then, drill the two shank holes through the brace for attaching the landing gear to the bottom wing (L) later.
