Izzy- It depends on the airframe. The Whiplash has a Kevlar belly so it is barely scraped up after many landings on blacktop and at the Rabbit lake-bed. The Phenom is fiberglass and has a pretty sturdy belly also, I have only flown it once but I am not worried about the bellies.

I glassed the belly of my Magnum and when that wears off, I will just glass 'er again!

Cobra- Looks like you have some cool stuff to fly. The DD does not look too bad to me, although your other one WAS "well used". I would have posted that post-crash pic. but Vic the man beat me to it--- If you need an unbiased third party (who is not emotionally attached to the airplane) to maiden the F-20 I will volunteer.


When do you wanna fly at Rabbit Cobra?
