You can probably guess what I forgot to do. Yes! put the gear switch down (gear was already down). Obviously I couldn't steer after landing and ripped the gear out while off roading.

Just a little story to help with a little thing you need to remember.

Thanks for reminding me to add a logical switch in my Jeti to activate steering AND brakes in case of a gear failsafe.
