I pegged a 4-G g-meter on a landing once. No damage, and that was on a
gear leg
that had been improperly repaired from a crash 15 years earlier.

I've seen 2G's on landing, but never more than that. Of course, the RV's
gear probably has more spring to it than the Flybaby's tires, so my 2 G
arrival may not have any more energy than your 4, but 4??? Ouch. That's a
nice way to chip a tooth or something.

My back hurt for a couple of days. I posted the story to RAH back then;

I've got a couple of photos of the G-meter, been meaning to dig 'em up, scan
them in, and add one to the web page....
