Never had any problems with the landing gear on the EC120, run on landings are fine. The only problem I cam across was landing on a mountain covered in heather, the front of the skids are pretty much in line with you arse, which means the nose is closer to the slope then conventional landing gear when conducting sloping ground work. Upon lifting the paint work on the nose got quite badly scratched and some minor damage to the pitot tube. Apart from that I loved it, nice comfortable machine to fly.
