I would recommend getting one. I'm not just blowing smoke because of the money I have tide up in it. You would actually die if you knew what little money I had in the plane. So my unbiased opinion is that it's a nice flying bird. Durability is still in question, but it would be much easier to repair, compared to a balsa.

No issues with landing gear. Your right pavement landing only so far. Each landing was a harrier landing though. No signs of cracks or fractures in the gear or gear plate. Im not using the nylon bolts, I put metal bolts on

i did break my nylon bolts on pavement once on a scale landing, it was a nice smooth no bounce'n landing, seems to like harrier landings better. there is a few mods i did to mine for durability. im waiting for wire LG from bestvalue to get here. after that i plan on flying mine in some ruff and tight spots.
