I flew my Q-modeling MRS Super Vega three times last season and broke the same landing pod twice. The chute tangled on the upper fins on the second flight and it came down hard. The pod tube tore and separated at the cone-pod joint. I repaired it but it broke again on the third flight even though the landing did not appear to be too hard. I guess it was weak from the first repair and that's why it broke again.
So I ordered a new landing gear assembly. The next few pictures show the main points of the repair.
First, the new pod cone held up to the broken pod cone. I did not want to remove the broken cone from the fin because I felt it would take alot of effort to recreate the really nice fillets I had made!
