Default Have you created anything "home-made" for your plane? (or a low cost alternative?)

Instead of angle "iron" use aluminum. It's lighter.

Instead of aluminum, use PVC water pipe. It's lighter yet and can be worked
with simple tools.


Jim, does the PVC provide any/sufficient friction to prevent the wheels
from rolling on a slope?
