I've read the different threads, and haven't seen issues reported with the 50cc gear? I have one completed, ready to maiden, and noted that the gear reinforcement seems to include two fore-aft 1/8" CF rods that go through the firewall, then through the ply landing gear plate, and into the bulkhead behind. Seems like that addition would add quite a bit in tension / shear, but of course don't know, 'cause I've not flown it.

Pondering just changing to CF gear from a 50cc Sbach - gets rid of that rearward sweep, which also must reduce the pullout forces exerted?
Looking at the two smaller Revolvers, the LG plate seems to be attached differently, and isn't recessed into the bottom of the fuse, but hard to tell from pics in manuals.

Anyone with specific info about the 50cc version and this issue?
