Funny you should ask. Saturday I had a kickback on startup and didnt realize that it had slightly loosened the prop. As I made the downwind turn the engine sputtered and then died before I had gained much airspeed. Long story short. I had to make a real quick turn into the wind with no airspeed and ended up setting it down pretty hard on the landing gear. It wasnt a pancake but it was a pretty hard fall from about 3'. It broke the CF gear on 1 side but ,,, heres the point... The landing gear block survived without any problem! I was quite pleased considering it could have been a lot worse.
