I actually just tack the parts together when assembling the foam parts. The tabs lock everything together pretty tightly, so I just put a tack of thin CA where every tab is. It should soak in and set everything well. As Seth said, it just comes from experience.

![]() But I'll have new ones before ETOC! ![]() If you really want to, you can actually take some of the GWS lite wheels (white S shaped spoked wheels) that come with some of Fancy Foam's other kits and actually take the skid and bend it inward towards the fuse, and slide a wheel on, then bend it back up vertically right after the wheel. This is if you really need wheels though. Just a suggestion. Seth | ||||||||||||||||||

Mike, you may want to put wheels on it for carpet. I usually just throw and catch the plane, but the couple times I killed the battery at KIEF and had to land on the astroturf, the skids didn't incur any damage, but it won't exactly skid across that stuff. Glad to see the first (literally Mike!) kits being built! RJ
