I decided to built the Frontwheels by myself. I use the smallest WCM rim half, a 3D-printed Insert, a round Aluminum plate and a foam ring.

I finished the wheelie bar and fixed the parachute at the wormgear. Then I watched many movies about packing the parachute and made the small red flag to secure everything when it is packed. Now I start to work on the new wing for the body...

Michael: The front wheels, wheelie bar, parachute, and petrol tank all look great. The entire project is amazing! Keep the body just as it is, never ever change it.

I'm a big believer in paper templates and 4mm thick artist's foam board. I use these materials to test concepts / ideas for my models.
