Found a Good Use for Crow on a US60

Suitcase and I went flying today, first time since New Years Day. I flew my old but trusty US 60 for my first flight. I smacked it in the runway hard on a touch and go. The prop hit a bump and killed the engine and I landed on the end off the runway. I halfway looked at it refueled it and started back up. Flying over the runway I saw one of the main gear wheels fall off. I decided to make a landing with the crow on because usually when I flare it has almost no roll out. It worked great plane set down with almost no foward speed as the gear touched the ground. It did grab the gear and just let the prop hit the ground but there was no damage. It turns out the axel broke. I will check it better from now on. I put a new one on it and flew some more.
