Gear on castor dolly?

cjensen · #1 01-10-2008, 10:53 AM

I've been searching for two days for the picture I came across THREE days ago...It was a taildragger RV (not sure which model) on it's gear, but no wheels/tires. It was movable by sitting on a set of castor dolly's...looked like a 4x4 wood block with a hole drilled for the axle, and two castor wheels per side.

Anybody know what I'm talking about? I can't find this pic anywhere!!

After re-reading your post, I can see this wasn't it... dwm

I don't have a picture but we put a 10 on steel casters by drilling a hole in a 2X4 for the axle and putting the axle nut on to keep the 2x4 in place. Worked great and you can move any direction you want.

I bought three of these from Harbor Freight to move the plane around in my garage during the build. They work well and I can use them later for my motorcycle and cars.

Those look like they work great Walter! The main thing I'm looking for is to put the airplane on the gear, but not the tires. I have no idea how long my 7 will be on it's gear without an engine, so I want to save the tires, but be able to move it in any direction.
