The landing gear plate broke in half. The T nuts did not pull out. The ply was light ply so not really stong enough for a landing gear plate. I added an extra layer of 1/8 ply were the T nuts were but it is hard to get around the edges on the gear plate with the former on top of it. wgeffon I was unable to get out of town yesterday as I had a to attend a graduation for the daughter of a friend of the family. I really wanted to come up and do some flying with everyone. Maybe we can get together later though. One thing that was really cool was, were I fly is a full size grass strip (6,000 feet), a guy with a Christen Eagle was flying around and landed and gave a couple people rides. I did not get a chance to go with him but when he landed I talked to him and we exchanged numbers so we can get together and I can get some time in a real aerobat. It was like being at my own little airshow. He did all his aerobatics right above the corn field next to the runway. Take off consists of getting about 10 feet off the runway and holding it there till he gets to the end of the runway then straight up. wgeffon you should come down and see if you can get a ride maybe even bring T-28 with you.
