Default RE: Great Planes Reactor 120-160?

My son had a dead stick last night. He was at the top of a low loop. He got really nervous and dove it down to the runway.
It came in pretty hot and rolled into the long grass off the runway.
Tore out the landing gear and split the landing gear block. Need to pick up some covering material and do some minor surgery.
Now is a good time to add an aluminum plate on top of the landing gear and beef the area up a bit. Since I want to upgrade it to a 50cc this winter.
I am also going to be sending landing gear dimensions to graphtech. They said they would see what they could come up with for this plane.
