A small landing leg designed for space probes or lightweight landers. Basically made of toothpicks, so be careful.

A very lightweight landing strut which can be extended with the G key just like the LT-1 and LT-2. Its impact resistance is lower than them, but not really as bad as the description implies (10 m/s vs. 12 m/s). It does, hoewever, have the disadvantage that it extends almost straight downward and not in a 45° angle like the others. This means that your vessel will stand less stable and tip over a lot more easily when landing. So be even more careful that you land as vertical as possible and on even ground.

It doesn't extend very far, but far enough to protect a LV-909 Liquid Fuel Engine under it, when you place them as low as possible.
