Last night i probably added a pound of epoxy to the entire landing gear area in the fuse and also reinforced with tri-stock. What caused me to rip out my landing gear was a total mishap anyway. It does float right in but I wanted a bit more insurance. I guess we cant expect to make these things crash proof. I appreciate all of the experience you guys have passed on here. Im sure i will be able to use the knowledge in the future. THANKS!
