Had an adventure landing yesterday when 2 of 4 landing gear bolts sheared off sogear collapsed on landing - no damage. 3rd bolt sheared when removing it toreplace all 4 with new bolts. Have photos if interested.Has anyone else had this problem and did you replace with AN3 as per drawings orenlarge to AN4s?Also - thinking of putting a safety cable in case bungy cables go. Do you knowhow long the cable should be so it doesn't interfer with the bungy travel?Happy FlyingJillRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Fri, 6 Jun 2014 08:41:08 -0700 (PDT)
