The Behotec gear is well made and durable gear, but is not magic. It won"t save your plane from a terrible landing. If you drop your plane out of the air from 4 or more feet expect there to be ramifications. This is a sweet flying plane and lands as easy as any jet short of a boomer and don"t listen to anything to the contrary.

Very True..

we did some testing on last sunday , and we did drop the model from 6ft and no damage was done...
the springs where twice the size , and the small doors for the oleo,s came off.
front oleo was fine.
but before we did that test , we did another flight and yes the springs are a bit to soft for the moment , but we will have new ones soon.
i am waiting for someone who could help us with these.
the model is as easy to land as a boomerang.
