LeeB, I hear you. After 63 flights on my Patty, I had to remove the landing gear and straighten in a vise at least 10 times. It's just not quite strong enough and spreads out slightly after each and every landing. Not to mention the bouncing. I now leave off the landing gear cover for that reason. But I'm not that good of a pilot that every landing is perfect.

Let me know if you find a good replacement.
