Thanks, but I was looking for suggestions on dealing with the plane when it hits or is about to hit the weeds/grass.

Usually when I'm into the meadow, it's too late for "S" turns or to return to the runway.

I also cannot see the plane land. I just continue to fly it until I believe it has touched down.

Usually the only damage is to the gear, and the plane when the gear hits it.



A few people have suggested using nylon gear bolts.

When I've tried them I've been very concerned that they would not hold up to even normal landings.
When I attempt to tighten them down, they will strip or break quite easily.
