Default Ventus 2 wing wheel

Several of us have noted this problem. Worse still, the hinge on the
top surface of the wing can "ding" the surface as it is levered
sideways.

The obvious fix is to mod the wheel so that it becomes castoring -
lateral forces will then straighten the wheel instead of flexing the
wing. I have already discussed this with one of our ASA engineers and
have a sketch for a mod, but haven't done anything yet.
