Hey Doc,

I've heard differing opinions on using the nylon bolts for the landing gear from people at my field. I've been told that it's good in theory, but doesn't really work in practice. But it sounds like your experience is different. When those nylon bolts do shear off, do you have to drill them out of the blind nuts? I think I'll give it a try, what could it hurt since if it saves me from having to rebuild the undercarriage.

Thankfully, the first time the gear tore out, I was able to directly epoxy back in place because not too much was tore up. This time is a little different because I tried to reinforce some stuff from the first time. I definitely don't need a new fuse, but it'll take a little more work to get the pieces to fit back together.
