the wheels will develop "flat spots", which prevent
them from rolling smoothly While this may happen
with any wheels, it is especially a problem with the
lightweight foam wheels To avoid this problem, sup-

port the airplane in storage with a Robart "Super
Stand" or similar.

SUMMARY

While this may seem like a lot of "extra work" just

to make your airplane fly well, most of the things we have
listed here are just good common sense modeling proce-

dures If you use the above information as a guide to build

(or modify) your airplane, we are certain you will be very
well satisfied with the results.

PLANE" AS YOUR NEXT PROJECT. THANK YOU!

MOTOR VIBRATION

If the propeller is slightly out of

balance, it may cause the rear of the

motor to vibrate against former F-l,
resulting in a noisy airplane. To pre-
vent this, cut a few narrow "wedges"

from balsa scrap and push them into
the gap between the motor and F-l, as
shown in the above drawing.
