Hell, most days I wonder why I DIDN'T bust my gear off the belly of the airplane. Just lucky so far.

Where did the weld brake on your pacer? I don't remember when I looked at your plane if you have the same added strengthening bar that I have on my pacer or not. If you do, did you have it on there when the weld broke? I'm just wondering where I might need to worry about.

Hi Charles,

I noticed your reinforcements and I'm in the process of adding them to my gear legs. What broke on my plane was the front gear attachment bracket, came completely off when I was landing on my (a bit rough) home field, my only "gear up" landing in a Pacer. I was lucky not to be on payment and at home. After insurance I ended up with a better plane.
