3.5" R/C Plane Wheel Chock (50cc)

thingiverse

A basic 3.5 inch wheel chock design for an R/C plane. I'm using this on a 50cc aerobatic model. I epoxied some velcro to the bottom of the print, which secures it tightly to the marine carpet in my trailer. The chocks make it effortless to pop the plane into the same position, allowing me to secure a strap around the landing gear leg and lock the model firmly into place. The cut out for the wheel is slightly larger than 3.5 inch - actually 90mm long x 27mm wide - hopefully that'll cover any differences in wheel manufacturers' specifications. The total print dimensions are: 102mm long x 45mm wide x 25mm high. Depending on your printer, a raft may assist in keeping the bottom of the print flat against the build plate.
