Vinh Quang DHC-2 Beaver (balsa)

[basslord1124]

I've had this plane a few years now doing a little work here and there to it. Decided to feature it on my youtube channel...at least in its current state. I'll be sharing some progress here too. Here's the video:

Got it at our local RC club's swap meet for about $75. Just the plane itself (never put together), no electronics.

Thats pretty cool! Get some big dubro Bush wheels on it and lets see her fly!

Thanks @Hondo76251 ! I agree some bush wheels would be awesome. I think I've got most all of the supplies for it...motor, ESC, servo, etc. New wheels are something I will need to get.

Been looking at wheels for this bird...Currently it has 3" wheels. What size do you think would be a good bush wheel size or at least close? 4"? 5"? I've never really looked at bush tires for any of my planes so just not sure what would size would look best.

 

[Hondo76251]

Bigger the better I usually think,

I think she'd look good with at least 5's just have to watch the balance... the big dubro's get a little heavy!

My modified bushwacker has 5" wheels, just for reference

5's sound like a good starting point and I think they'd look good too. That gives me a good reference. So I'll probably do that or a 4.5" at a minimum. Thanks @Hondo76251 !
