Do the wheels close?

I believe so We made the plane for our grandson to hang from his ceiling and glued them shut, not sure if they also open, but I BELIEVE so. Sorry for not being more specific.

You can build it with the landing gear up OR down but it does not fold up & down. It has the parts to cover the wheels & strut when up.

Yes they do, there is a sliding pin that you push to one side to allow the brakes to open a bit more. Works nice.

No. However, they do look they are that type of wheel, which adds aesthetically. Great hubcaps. Have had them for quite a while, and they look pretty stylish.

Hi, my son and I tried to get the wheels off but they don't budge. I'd think it would be safe.

I don't think so. They are nice. It may be a bit hard to slide because these wheels have strong grip. Think they are perfect though!

I had the same problem. My son took it home and fixed it for me. Please check instructions. If you don't have them, you can google them. Note the placement of the spacers on the wheels. If the spacers are put on incorrectly, the wheels will bang into each other and not be able to close up. You will need to remove the lock pieces on the wheels and replace the spacers onto the other frame. Hope this helps.

No. And a word of advice, the wheels fall off sometimes. But, for the money it's ok. I use it to work on my motorcycles.

I have purchased two of these. The first one, I was a bit overzealous and really pounded the wheels on hard-thinking I didn't want them to come off. That DID make the wheels hard to turn. I do not know if you can loosen them, or not. I was not able o get mine loosened. The second one, I did not make that mistake, and the wheels turn good.

The wheels have a snap ring and once seated they will not come out of the frame. You have to use a fair bit of pressure to press the wheels into the frame past the snap ring.

They wheels are suppose to rotate a little. That said, double check that you followed the instructions EXACTLY. We thought we had until on closer observation of the last page we realized that the wheels should not extend over the front. We had put the wheels on backwards! FYI - that mistake is nearly impossible to correct after the wheels are on.

I'd be surprised if they didn't, but it my be wise to use a little glue to keep the wheel ones in. I had one fall out a while ago.

Yes, I believe they do, But be careful not to force them closed since I broke ours. My husband put ours together . So I wasn't totally aware of how to work it.

Yes, the wheels turn. Steering a bit tight, but am sure that will loosen up a bit with use.

No the wheels don't lock, but i haven't had a reason to lock them. It does not move unless it is pushed.

Yes, you will just need to put on the wheels' covers. I have given this presents to two kids, and they loved it!

Yes - even if there is no load, as long as the bottom part is down, it'll stay open. If you fold the bottom part up, then the wheels will go into storage position. In other words, the wheels being out aren't dependent on a weight being carried; rather, they are determined by whether the load-bearing part is in the storage position, or in the "carrying stuff" position. Hope that helps.

They appear to be a hard rubber wheel. The cart has worked well so far, but the only thing you can't do is flip up the bottom support without the wheels folding. They are connected and once the wheels unfold, so does the bottom support. It's not really a problem, but something to mention.
