Eflight RV-9An Even More Important IssueLanding Gear Attachment to the Fuselage....

One of my friends and I cut open the area of the fuselage where the landing gear attaches after the gear broke loose from the fuselage. Inside that area, we added additonal wood glued in with epoxy to beef up the fuselage structure where the landing gear attaches, then replaced the bottom of the fuselage to cover up the area, and reattached the gear. This keeps the gear attached firmly flight after flight where before the addition inside the fuselage I had broken wood and the gear came loose.
