Default RE: Glue the Block In?

I agree for the most part, but, it's when you do have the category 8-10 landing that the nylon bolts come in to play. Such as a half out of control dead stick crash/landing. However, I play the odds and use metal bolts for the landing gear. I Have ripped the bottom of the plane out once (metal bolts) and broken the gear block but for most of the time it just holds as designed. BTW, when I did have the 10 landing, the wheel pants went through to bottom of both wings. It's one of those "matter of Choice" decisions. Either way you are rolling the dice depending on how well you land.
