Help! Glider landing gear

[Moeller]

Hi.
Im building a 2,6 m scale glider. Is there anybody that has some blueprints for a retractable landing gear, with 55 mm wheel. So i can gut it out off fiberglass, or wood.

why not buy 25g servoless retracts landing gear... Easy to install, and fit nice a 1500g + plane.

It's way more expensive

Not really - £8 for one wheel on banggood. You only need one for a glider.

Or put a single fixed 55mm wheel on an axle that protrudes a little out the bottom?

Awww, but who doesn't want retracts?

Anyone who wants low weight, simplicity and wheels that are always down when you need them. Glider ones are mostly recessed into the fuselage anyway.
