It’s these inconsistencies in your stories that take away from you credibility.
You were nit picking the details of my statements. I merely put them all together and said if those details vary, does it change the risk of the underlying behavior. You decided not to answer that.
Instead you pull another comment out of context. And then you wrap it in a statement that has a lot of assumptions, things like "lightly built." I don't conceded that. And yes, the grass was rough, and it's well known for gopher holes. I submit that given the difference in wheel size between generally larger size models and generally smaller size (mine was .25 FW), that roughness makes a difference.
That said, it's entirely possible that at some point his larger aircraft ripped off landing gear in one of the holes, as I ripped off mine in one. I can't say for sure, as I didn't go back.
