I can't keep landing gear on my Little Banchee when landing on the rough lawn. What plane would be good for belly landings and would still do a little 3-D? Or, what modifications do you make when you fly/land on rough surfaces? I was thinking about putting a piece of music wire hanging down and bent back to keep the nose from digging in. Would I need a prop saver on the shaft of the motor too? What do you recommend?
Thanks, Bob

I suggest either take the gear off or land in the street or driveway. I don't like prop savers.

I second WhtBronco's opinion. I don't like prop savers especially for hard 3D.

I fly an Ikarus Edge 540 with no U/C off grass without any proplems.
Of course you will need a prop saver.
Run a length of carbon strip along the whole of the bottom of the model anchoring it solidly to the ply engine mount

It has to land on the grass, driveway is too closed in... I guess I'll experiment with the options; music wire, nothing and with and without the prop saver. Thanks for the input
