Bob, some time back, I stumbled across the Dubro Heavy Duty Composite landing gear. I've converted about 25% of our active club members to it by now. They are tougher than nails. You cant bend or break one, but the give a good flex on a hard landing to protect the airframe. I use them on 40 size stick planes, 4*60, Supper aeromaster Biplane, any thing that is between a 40 and on up. They can be painted, or as one guy at the field did, covered, or just left natural colored.

I use the Dubro axels on them and I've never bent one even on the planes Ive totaled out. I wish they made a bigger one as I've got a 1/4 scale Laser 200 and a 1/3 scale Extra 230 on the building que.

A great combo.
