I'm going back to this old post:

I'm also looking for the front landing gear or I'll make my own. I have the music wire but don't have the right wheel.

I found a video on this Cessna 150; from assembly out of the box to flight. Interesting

Second prototype that fits much more securely. And it's aesthetically much nicer.

I left out the coils that would serve as suspension, rather useless in my opinion; the plane is too light and the music wire too rigid.

The "U" shaped opening must be precise enough to fit in the opening under the fuselage.
It's still an assembly that can easily get lost in the turf in case of a crash. We should paint the wheel bright orange!
