The 8mm pins are a real fix too. I was buddy-boxing my son on the Flash a few weeks ago and we didn't realize that he wasn't getting full power because the throttle trim on the buddy box was down. The result was that the Flash ran off the end of the runway into the tall grass/weeds/brush with almost full power on.

One main gear came out OK and the other got bent aft about 1/4" at the wheel. It turns out that most of the bend was in the 8mm pin - it did not break. We flew it several more times that day and I'm replacing the pin now before Fl Jets. The strut was tweaked just slightly, trunion was fine, the gear frames were fine, and the gear mounts were fine. That 6 mm pin is just too small and brittle for that application. Replace it with the 8mm and you'll be fine.
