mesaflyer I have had to bend them back in place after a few hard landings, you need to pull the gear out and clamp them in a vise to do it they bent back easy.
you dont want to try it with the gear in the plane the mounts are just not strong enough for the force needed to do it.
its not if he crashes its when and how hard a landing is just a controled crash at least mine are.
I also removed and patched over the sensor hole on my NEXTAR, fuel was soaking the wood where the sensor was.
