Ed asks:

<< Now my question to everyone is; Is there a rule of thumb for calculating
 the safety factor of landing forces?  >>

No rule of thumb required Ed. Check out CFR 23.471 through 23.511 for landing
gear load requirements. The CFRs are available ar www.landings.com under
"regulations".

Good hunting.
