Short of crashing, I've never had my landing gear plate came off of any of my 3DHS models... and I have plenty of them (57" Sukhoi included). I can't speak for your friend, but without a video of the above-mentioned landing, all of us would simply be speculating.
Name calling, however, is typical ruse that people use when they're unable to debate the issues based on the fact.... typical..... are you supposed to hurt my little feeling
