Default RE: A Question about Hard Landings and Strong Landing Gear

Sure. Occasionally you see landing gear all beefed up and the firewall seperated from the fuselage on a hard landing, or the wing saddle crushes, or the wings seperate at the failed root joint. But the landing gear is OK!

Same logic that puts a 30A fuse in a 5A circuit so you don't have to replace the fuse as often. But when all the magic blue smoke escapes . . .
