I have heard a good bit of concern about the landing gear block. Guys, it's hard to imagine setting this airplane down with a hard landing. On final it's very responsive to the elevators, which will hold the nose up and allow the plane to land much slower than a trainer. It floats down almost in a harrier to the ground. Conversely if you are using a grass field I could see a potential problem. Remind me that I said this when I bust the gear out.
