The main struts are way to thick and way to stiff. One hard landing and the Fuz is going to be toast.
ROFL!
This just goes to show, "different strokes"...
The majority of people here complain about the gear on ARF's being too weak, tending to bend too easily.
I find that it is almost "just right", letting the gear absorb the impact of hard landings at the cost of bent struts.
You find it "too stiff", because the fuse will be damaged.
Not that you are wrong, I just find that what is good for one person is awful for another.
You ARE advised to beef up the gear mounting area on ANY Arf as I've yet to see enough re-inforcement done on any plane.
