Kerbal Space Program

I've attached two craft files, one with the LT-2s positioned low on the core, one high. If transitioning from on-legs to belly-landed such as in picture 2, or vice versa, the legs are likely to explode going when going down, and nearly certain to going up. With the legs high, no problem. Inner sections of the legs hitting the ground? Anyway, awkward position or not, half a ton spread between three struts shouldn't be causing this much trouble.

Yes, I've been doing a lot of belly-landing stuff lately.
