Hi Guys,
has anyone thought of a better landing gear for the arducopter, as i just broke mine and 3dr are out of stock. it was easier when i brake a propeller and just run to the store and pick up 8. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
also i recently started using 3dr products and for being in u.s.(san diego) i am really dissapointed. First i oder their frame and the send me the wrong connector and missing a nylon spacer. then i order a apm 2.5 fully assembled early last week and pay for overnight shipping (i'm a bit impatient) and i email customer support today because it is still processing, they tell me that the telemetry set is on backorder and to keep checking the online store for avalibility, after i already paid. maybe they should make it unavaliable untill they get all the necessary parts. just a thought.
Best Regards,
Luis

Did someone try this ?
My fix for now was to buy 1" wide aluminum stock from Lowes/Home depot (thinnest they had... 1/8" I think), drill matching holes (need to angle stock so it's wide enough to span both bolts), and replace all six legs.
I didn't mess with the nylon spacers to add stiffness.
Survived a dead drop from ~40ft up into a grass field. Bent the heck out of the aluminum legs but otherwise no damage... And legs bent right back for further flying. The aluminum bending absorbed lots of force.
Once I get more confident/dialed in I'll prob go back to the fiberglass legs.
