A lot of people build WW I era airplanes, but are forced to stick tiny wheels on the bottom. I experimented with some wheels that have wheels embedded in them so the plane does not blow up on take off and landing. I build a small car as a proof of concept to see how it worked on rough ground. Drive it around and see if it might be useful to you. VTOL slider down to move forward. I guess the car is kind of fun, too. :-

I really like the idea of the wheels, but they are a little unstable at high speeds
