...A lot of Gaui flyers, including myself, use T Rex 600 LG...super tough and a whole lot more stable.
Zip tie them on as break away on really hard landings to save your frames... PT

I use plastic bolts and nuts to attach my skids. They hold much better than zip ties, but will still save the frame in a hard crash. Sometimes, zip ties will let go even in a minor hard landing, causing the skids to come off and the tip-over damage can be even worse than if it just bounced hard on the LG. Just my 3 cents......
