REFLECTOR: Main Gear wheel well

[Christopher Martin]

1/2" is the minimum. I would suggest 3/4" on the side parallel to the leading and trailing edge of the wing. Most importantly, MAKE SURE YOUR TIRES ARE PROPERLY INFLATED.

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.
