Not really much bending as there are 3 solid carbon fiber rods basically bolted at center and two aluminum supports holding the wings front and aft. I am considering adding a small solid CF support between the wheel supports to further brace it. However, a recent crash collapsed the both front and back landing supports having hit a curb. The take-away is the aircraft is going to be much stronger but the calcs and approach to protecting this are not complete.
do the wings bend much on landing with this though?
