Similar concept, but completely different geometry.

So is that like Alex DiSessa’s gear?

Directly related to the gear choice question. What about damage resistance between the Grove and Cabane gear?

If, heaven forbid you were to have any runway excursion/off airport incident. It always seemed to me that the more frangible Cabane frame would absorb most, if not all of the load. Rather than have it transferred to the fuselage, making any repairs more difficult and or expensive?

My solution to this issue.

If I hit something hard enough to damage the fuselage at this point, the plane belongs to the insurance company.

Blimey, that's some solution!
