Great! ill have to look into making my own wheels with the soft TPU! This is very good as some of the hobby foam tire wheels are too think to fit into a smaller airframe!

I bet PEBA would be a good fit, althought the bounce may hurt it a bit.

I know this is definitely late… but better late then never right?
But I wanted to include a few more pictures for anyone interested in building the plane. How I routed the electronics etc.
Things to note are on the tail, make sure to not go crazy with the glue so the control rods are able to get through the skin as shown in the pictures. Both elevator surfaces will need to be connected with a section of control rod as well.
I don’t glue the front two skins to the model so I have easy access to the ESC/motor.
I glue the tail servos inside of the hatch section with looong control rods to keep the cg where it should be. I’ve found about an inch and 3/4 from the leading edge is about where it should be.
The plans do not include the cutout on the top skin of the wing because that needs to be trimmed and form fit to your fuselage as seen in the photos. I also like to flair the rear corner of the wing up a little to match the contour of the skin.
(Ignore the rope, that’s how I hang my planes on the wall lol!)
