Yes I bent the gear too many times. I think I will take them off and install a wire skid device to see how that works. I am landing in snow now...not too much of a roll out!!!!! It is fun to fly...but I got to be in one of my "faster modes" to fly it. Guess I am getting OLD! My Grandson has a Edge Airfoil Z which is a lot more durable plane, but mine looks better. I may trade it for a new kit at the hobby shop. Noy sure though. It is getting colder here today...may not get another flight before big deep freeze this week-end! Capt,n
