The problem you are having is that this is NOT a beginner's plane. The hardware that is included with the kit is more than ample for the plane, but not when it's being pounded by beginner landings. If you're bouncing the plane that much you're going to damage it no matter what you do to beef it up, because this is a bit of a heavy plane. My advice would be to park this plane and fly a trainer until you get a little bit more control on your landings so they aren't so hard on the airframe you're flying.<div>
