Having finished construction on my Outlanders legs there is one area that I don't like and would like to modify. I have a lot of concern about the Small launch lug like tube that is used to secure the elastic cord to each leg. It seems to me with each landing, most of the landing force is placed against that lugs glued surface trying to tear it off the leg.
Has anyone experienced this type of failure when flying the Outlander?
Has anyone devised a better method out there?
Also, I too have scratched my head on the notch that several people have made reference to on each leg. I have resisted filling it in, because I wonder if it serves as a stress reliever on the landing. Similar to why they put expansion lines in a concrete sidewalk. Opinions?
