That might be worth a try - a small bomb might work as a sacrificial landing skid, and could be reinforced with much less weight penalty. I believe the RAF used the P40 as a fighter bomber in North Africa, and the camo scheme would be right at home in a sandpit...
Got to be worth a try...
Does sound like you have over protected it.
The second lighter version sounds like a good way to go, then you can compare the handling and have spares for the preferred one...

Wow! There's slow flyers, there's slowflyers, and then there's this...
That thing looked like you were swinging it around with a fishing pole! Just how much does it weigh to fly like that?
Dont give my secrets away....
Good trick getting it around the post and back while under the washing lines....
Its flight weight is 0.5oz or 15g...
Very very light and fragile feeling - really nice to fly though. Has elevator and rudder, so is 3 channel.
Worth a look for the BNF (bind and fly) version, took 5 minutes to bind to the DX7 and most of that was entering the name in a new memory space.
