Yeah don't let the plastic bother you to much. I just had a major crash with a heli that has a lot of plastic.
Of the plastic all I lost was the battery tray, lower frame and the blade grip control ball and link. The tail grips, main gear, front and rear tail boxed, rear tail drive gear the other blade grip, all three bearing blocks, main gear, landing gear, wash out arms and anti-rotation bracket were all fine. The plastics have gotten much better of the years. Oh and that was the second crash for all that plastic.
If you can get gorilla gear fir your skids do so. They are tough as nails, lots of flex in them under stress.
