Hmmm
I for one think it is all in the design. I will bet you could drive across the same bump at the edge of the runway in your average Cessna or Piper without causing a bit of trouble. The thing just appears to be way to light in the material used or has been suggested the hardness. The problem has been happening with too much frequency. These aircraft are short field performers, kinda sux you have to be so careful about grass, rough surfaces, etc. Needs FIXING! I am game for whatever assistance I can be.
One question since I have never seen one of the gears off, is it solid or tubular?
