I fiberglassed my landing gear a few months ago. and have not had a problem since. this weekend i was out and had a dead stick into the rough. the block held together without a scratch, but it actually broke the blindnuts. all of these minor problems that have been talked about i have had with my plane, and fixed it all, and the plane still looks and flies like new. even with it's flaws this is still one of the best planes(and funnest) that i have owned.
