Trying to take the old landing skids off, they are CA glued in by the previoius owner, I got one out using debonder and pullling it out, but the other three have broken off in trying to get them out flush with the frame What do I do, I ve put lots of debonder on it, but there must be glue inside, I ve tried punching it out, with no luck, any reccomendations would help greatly.

You can use a razor blade or sharp x-acto blade and shave the plastic from the struts. Just be careful not to shave the strut.

Debonder worked on one of mine too - I had to cut the rest off.

You can try drilling them out but it may be worth it to get a new frame (about $13.00) and new struts.

I had to drill one for some reason - used a dremel and had fair luck, but it was not fun.

where do you get the new frame from, I looked on the century site but they did not list it.

Go ahead and Drill them out. If you screw it all up then buy a new frame. I would try a small 1/16th drill bit then work up to the bit that is the same size as the carbon. Who knows as your drilling they may brake loose and pull out because of all the debonder you squirted in there. Use low speed and use a nice sharp bit. I would go wit a hand drill as opposed to a dremal. Thats my opinion.
