Default RE: Landing Gear Question????

Don't understand the comment about Locktite not helping. The purpose is to stop the landing gear falling off by preventing the screws coming undone.

Any damage caused by a bad landing will be the same irrespective of whether the screws are locktited or not (unless of course the gear drops off in flight, as happened here).

BTW, the gear did fall off in flight (I was there) and a search failed to find it. There is a creek in the area where it detached, so it may have gone to a watery grave!
