Kind of a rough landing, but a good duenna.... Might need a day or so to hang that left main landing gear back onto the aircraft though..

FS went into a slide show on me on final. About all I could do was try to keep it pointed in the right direction and angle. Just lucky that I didn't get a crash out of it.
