I have to agree that the gear on the Tomahawk is quite strong. I have
give nearly 400 hours of primary instruction in Tomahawks and find it to handle Crosswinds better than many(most?) GA aircraft. But then I seldom Crab for a cross wind prefering instead to side slip. One would have to hit incredibly hard to break a Tomahawk gear off. On the other hand I have seen some strange combinations of loads break things that one would think would not be even close. Perhaps the combination of a very hard landing and the side load would be enough to do it. or perhaps the gear had previously been damanged and the hard X-wind landing was enough to finish it.
