[NSRCA-discussion] Wheel Pants Yes or No

[Anthony Romano]

I always feel a plane looks more finished with wheel pants. My primary field 
has been politely referred to as velcro and all my planes have had pants. 
The key points have been wide 3" wheels (Hobby Lobby has some light ones), 
prop clearance and making sure the axles extend far enough into the pants to 
be captured an both sides. If memory serves Bob Pastorello had some diagrams 
of this on his site. There is a link to him from the NSRCA site. (can't find 
it now still at work)
