Tom, can you tell me what material the landing gear is made from? I'm having some trouble with the gear bending, mostly due to my hard landings[&o] My Dad was loooking at it and said that T-6 should spring back to it's original shape and not remain bent, he's worked in the aircraft industry for many many years so he's familiar with aluminum and it's various tempers. Anyway, I'd considered getting some gear fabbed from T-6 if the original is indeed not already T-6. ANYONE reading this please note, this is in no way a reflection on this plane, only in my inability to figure out how to land it, i'm still working on the CG, setup, etc. And I'm not the most experienced pilot, but I am comfortable and experienced enough to fly this plane, just have to work on the landings. Just don't want anyone to get the wrong idea. Thanks!!!
