Hi Guys

Pity you did not refer back to my first post on this thread ... been through all of the landing gear and fast landing issues = you were advised!!!

"Definitely agree with strengthening the landing gear area - well we in south africa actually ended up swopping the carbon landing gear for aluminium and also increasing the size of the wheels - we flew off bumpy grass, old rubber conveyor belt, tarmac and cement runways around the country - because the slightest wrong landing and they split through!!! It's kinda fast on landing so learn to slow up and glide/flare it a long ways out. And with the airbus using up all carbon stock!!! it costs plenty to replace :-( "

She really is alovely plane and flies so smoothly but landing gear mounting area and actual landing require good attention and concentration"

I also moved my throttle into the fuselage as it was getting full of fuel residue and closer to the vibration caused it to malfunction.
