Balsa wood wind-up airplanes usually have two wheels in the front and skid on the tail. This conversion uses three wheels. Tricycle landing gear appears on many planes, like the Cessna 172, the most successful mass produced light aircraft in history. On the model, keep the rear wheels as far forward as possible, just on the brink of teetering back onto the tail, on this one the bracket is 2 3/4" back from the front of the fuselage. You may need to add a small weight, like modeling clay, behind the propeller to balance the plane. It should balance about 1/4 the distance back from the leading edge of the wing, between the leading and trailing edges.
