I concur with what Mike says about bracing the gear plate if you're flying off of grass. I tore mine out in my first airplane and since I braced it there hasn't been any problems.

Below is a pic of the inside of the fuse just for orientation purposes the nose of the airplane is to the left. The gear brace is just fore and aft of the wing adjusters. If anyone needs more detailed pics let me know and I'll get what you need.
