Hi Fly3d

you are right and very intelligent. Manufacturers could fix under the fuselage two metal sticks to do this: \[=]/
= is the rubber box, section 3 cm x 1,5 cm - \[ ]/ are metal (brass? duralumin? ergal?) profiles that hold the rubber box with holes for screws. In this way the landing gear and the screws are free to rotate and can absorb shocks instead of breaking and damaging the fuse.

In profile planes I'd use a great solution. Instead of doing little holes for the screws of landing gear, I'd do two holes of 9 - 10 mm. I'd put into the holes two rubber "fisher" (I don't know if you call them in this way: they are used to fix brackets on a wall) and I'd use their
screws to fix the two legs of landing gear. It's a very good idea.
