3D-printed WWI Wheels for the Fun Scale Models HANRIOT biplane

The Fun-Scale Models 30" Hanriot HD-1 is an excellent model and we are producing the 3D-printed 2 1/4" tire and hub that Derek has designed specifically for it.  Available in other sizes as well, to work with other WWI planes like the French Nieuport 17.

Here's Derek's prototype with the custom wheels installed!  The laser-cut short kit for the "Fun Scale Models" Hanriot HD-1 Park-flyer is available from Manzano Lazer works.  Here's a video of Derek flying the Hanriot along with a Fokker D7 by Scott Ramirez at the 2025 John Morgan RC Fun-Fly.

SPECIFICATIONS:

TIRE: black flexible TPU (hollow) - 2.25" diameter x 0.3" wide.  

WHEEL HUB SET: white PETG.   The 2 hub halves make one wheel hub. Total width at the axle: 0.45". The hubs are not painted. Note: the outside hub has the detail shown, the inside hub is completely flat.

One complete 2.25" wheel weighs about 11.9 gms (0.42 oz).  The complete 1.75" wheel weighs about 6.7gms (0.24oz).

You may purchase a complete set of 2 wheels, or separately as spare parts.

Note: These wheels can be manufactured in other sizes (larger or smaller) to fit other models. For example if you need these wheels to be 2" diameter, or 1.5" diameter, we can do that - contact us for details.

3D-printed parts are unpainted but require very little preparation - they can be painted with any plastic-compatible paint. Painting is recommended because all plastics will deteriorate over time if exposed to sunlight. The wheel hubs can be glued together with CA or Foam-Tac cement. The two hub halves are designed to be glued onto the wheel and have starter holes for the axle - carefully drill out the holes to match the axle wire size you are using.
