Yes both went within a short distance, I was not the pilot at the time, one of our syndicate was flying it, fortunately a very experienced and capable pilot.
Port failed first causing a swing to the left, he managed to correct the swing then the starboard one snapped. It was towards the end of the roll out, so the engine was at idle power and no other damage was sustained.

Do I read this right – both legs failed on the same landing?
No damage done I hope?
Regards

It would seem there has been a number of failures in service of the nylon legs. Perhaps those who have had failures could post there experiences - length of service both time and hours, type of runways normally used, temperature when failure occurred and minimum temperatures experienced etc. I am sure this information would be of use to Europa in deciding wether an alternate material is required.
