Tarot 650 quadcopter - fragile skid bars

Tarot put woven carbon fiber 10 mm tubes with 0.7-0.8 mm wall as skid bars. They are connected to 16 mm vertical tube by T-join. To keep skid bar in place it suggests to use M3 inner bolt which actually make whole construction even more fragile. I broke them in very first land when copter was not perfectly straight and "dropped" from about 2-3 cm.

I had cheap landing gear from F-450 like quad decided to use.
Set contains four 8 mm carbon fiber rods, so wrapped with tape it perfectly fit inside.
As can be seen it still working well with broken outer tube.
