Default RE: RV-4 or Ultra Sport 40+

It looks the same exact same bends as on my Fantasy. I did bend the first set by not being careful on the landings, but a new set has lasted a long time. I'm careful to not bounce it or to hit hard. A friend at the field has punched holes behind the leading edge of his RV4 by bouncing his a lot. The wheel flexes up on the soft gear and hits the same spot every time.

I bought the Higley wire bender set and extra piano wire. I haven't had to bend new landing gears yet, but I will do some soon for spares.
