Default RE: Hangar 9 Twist 3D

As a preventative step on mine, I took out the stock blind nuts, and installed some 1/4-20 blinds, and used nylon bolts to attach the gear.

I'm hoping that the bolt will break before the fuse does.

I was flying in pretty stiff wind this weekend, and bring it in for landing - I've got a siato 80 in mine and couldn't get it to idle down for some reason, so I was coming in under more power than normal. Into the wind I was holding it a little nose high , and then the wind just died when I had it 4 feet off the deck and the plane sunk in -- took a good fall, but landed flat with no damage to anything. Bolts held good too.
