RE: Aeroworks Yak 54
I have one from the original batch of the yaks, and I am also one of the people that ripped out the gear in a slightly harder than it should have been type landing. I fixed mine, and it has many flights on it since then without any sort of trouble at all.
I think If you do the additional steps they have outlined, you will end up with a very nice aircraft. I was very pissed off over it when it happened, but I am damn glad I fixed it rather than trash it. It has been a great flying plane since then. I will buy another when I do this one in.
