I have a yak 3.3m and the only problem I had was the gear tubes shearing at the fuse surface. I had two breaks on seprate occasions, one on a dead stick into rough part of the farmers field, and one on what was not too bad of a landing. I now put support under the fuse at the gear leggs in my trailer, haven't had a gear legg break since. I took some pictures of my fix on the extra 330, didn't get a chance to up load them. Once I paint the fuse repair , you won't even know it happened. 1/16" balsa, bondo, and carbon fiber make a good strong repair.
