Until it breaks, or is ripped out by side torsion on a bad landing.
Two of the four flying here have had both things occur.
If every landing is a good one, yes, it is fine.
My mileage does vary I guess... but it may also depend on the field... we have a grass field that's smooth like a golf green...
In either case, I thought the stock gear was pretty "hefty" wire... if I remember right anyways... I have swapped out tailgear for other that I had onhand, but am pretty sure the one I used on the U3D is stock...
Certainly wouldn't take but a sec to remove a broken one and go with your proposed type...
Also Meeko.... beef up former under the gear... Mine came loose when I picled it up by the gear...
