The landing gear on this airplane might be made of lead. I have never seen a gear bend straight back against the wide direction of the gear leg. This one does. Our field is very short grass but a little rough. I am sure the bending is actually in the horizontal section between the bolts and the edge of the fuselage, but still, wow. My landings are fine. I do use spoilerons when the wind is blowing, but they are not violent at all. They just kill all the floating after flaring. Does anybody make a replacement landing gear that would fit in that area. I would prefer carbon or glass, but any good aluminum gear with the right alloy would work fine.
