Directly interchangeable with another of my projects, https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3248338 simply by screwing it into the mounting plate that goes inside the wing. See that file's description if you are unsure how the plate should be assembled or installed. This particular file is presently untested, as our snow is too deep for wheels currently. Assembly requires roughly an inch and a half of landing gear wire (or perhaps a toothpick, if you're feeling brave), three M3 machine screws, and a 2.75" wheel such as Flite Test sells. That brand will definitely fit, since that is what the wheel fairings were built around, but others should fit as well. Different lengths of bushing have been included to keep the wheel stable as you see fit; or you may just use washers instead. It is highly recommended you use thin wall printing for this. Print the bushings as provided in the files, with the short bushings having their narrow side down, and the long bushings with their solid side down. These will be the surfaces that contact your wheel hubs. The flare on the other side is used to keep the bushings in place, so you should not need to glue them in place. You can use minimal infill on most of these parts, though it is recommended that the bushings be dense. Supports will be needed for the fairing halves. To assemble, drill out the bottoms of the screw holes on the fairing top, then screw in and optionally glue to the leg. Cut the appropriate length of landing gear wire, thread the bushings and wheel on until you are satisfied with the fit, then seat those in the assembled portion, and glue the bottom half on over it. Apply to the plane using 4 M3*12 screws.
