I have a saito 100 and I have not had any prolems yet. I havent really flown it beyond half throttle. As fas as the ladning gear, the block did crack. I used some regular CA and it is holding fine. I also had my wheel pants crack and I refiberglased them. This was done by the person who owned it before me. It probably depends more on the pilot, but I am glad I have read about this problem just so it doesn't happen to me.
