"mustangherb", what landing gear are you using?. My Ultimate is the RTF version and has aluminum landing gear but it has tappered legs instead of straight ones like yours. Anyway also have showed as a bit soft and bends easily when landing as you point out.
Other question, how do you keep the wheel spats from rotating arround wheel shaft?. Mine has 2 screws through landing gear for avoiding rotation.
Finally I would like to advice that my Ultimate has broken twice the front left top wing support, I guess due to vibrations since both failures happened while using large 2 stroke glow engines (JBA 1.40 and OS 1.20). Has anybody suffered this same problem?.
Best Regards,
