REFLECTOR: Main Gear wheel well

[steve korney]

Condors are the smallest tire... You will have trouble if you try to put 
Goodyears on... Make the wheel wells big...They get covered up anyway...



Best... Steve

Hello all,

I'm working on the strakes - gear well of a XL/RG. Looking at the manual I
think the 1/4 " foam will be plenty of clearance for the main gear leg and
well... It calls for 1/2 foam for clearance around the tire...do you the
collective,  that have "been there and done that" think this is enough  
clearance to
build in for the main gear tires?

I remember reading about different size tires and problems some have
experienced... I have the  6 ply Condors the Factory supplied as the tire  
upgrade in
2000. Any and all input would be greatly appreciated. Thanx in  advance for
all your help.
