I have read previous posts about the Shoestring and how some people were having trouble with the landing gear, and the way it is constructed. Well the other day I was flying my Shoestring, and on landing, and a 3 point at that, the landing gear just folded back on me, causing the belly to be gutted, and the wheel pants shoved through my wings. I have had this plane for over a year and a half, and over 60+ flights on this plane, and no trouble untill now. I noticed other guys saying that it happened after only a couple of flights, wich tells me they are slamming this plane down on landings, wich it can't take due to the weak construction of the landing gear mount. I have had it hop on me on landings as well, but nothing so jaring that it ripped the landing gear out on me, I imagine it just got weak after all those flights, so I was just wondering if someone who has beefed up the landing gear area, could give me some pointers on what they did to better the construction, so I can get my Shoestring back up again, but without adding a tremendous amount of weight to it, although my T.H. .75 has no problem taking it through the skies, so a little extra weight wont kill it I guess. Thanks
