While practicing touch and go's in the Su-25, one of the wheels on the landing gear became stuck in the up position (guess I landed a little too hard). Any suggestions on how to force the landing gear down in that situation, or what to do if one of the wheels won't descend no matter what?

I would attempt a belly landing.

To whom it may concern,

I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that.

Thank you for you patience.

Any recommendations on how to belly land without blowing up? :D Speed, etc. . .

I tried once to land while having only nose gear down (main gear wouldn't come down due to damage), my aproach was nice and speed good but didn't make it to have enough slow speed for the plane to kind of settle on the front wheel and belly... ended up in 2 bounces, the second inducing a third bounce after which I decided to eject as I thought the third bounce would couse aircraft to blow up... after I ejected I saw the aircraft landing itself... it went off the runway a bit but it did not explode or go into pieces. On external view I saw everything was still in one piece! What a landing that was :D

Managed to break the undercarriage in my first attempt at landing the Su-25; very disorientated by the kph and m instead of mph and feet!

The second attempt was much smoother though the plane did catch fire. I was able to shut down both engines and open the canopy though.

I counted that as a landing I walked away from
