FAR Question

What glider? Standard certificate or Experimental?

It it's a Schweizer, the wing wheels bear an absolutely uncanny resemblance
to a hockey puck with a 3/8" hole in the middle. Of course, you may also
need the spring arm that supports them.

If it's experimental, in-line skate wheels work great.


Is there an reason why this shouldn't be done?

Yeah, tell your friend to stop dragging the wing tips.

First off, I am an A&P, but not a pilot.

I have a relative that has a glider and needs to put "wing wheels" on his
glider. He said that they want some pretty decent money for them.

I have a friend that is an excellent machinist and I was thinking of
getting
them together and see if he can make some wheels for him.

I don't know how the reg's work with gliders. Does he need to have an STC
to
do this?

Is there an reason why this shouldn't be done?

Thanks...

Chuck
