I agree. I've never hand-caught my drone. I imagine that I should learn how to do it in case I ever need to take off and land from a boat - but I don't understand what people find so difficult about landing normally. Does the manual even talk about hand catching as an option? If not - and it truly is the "best", doesn't that make them negligent?
Also - I saw that you posted "learn how to land" as a joke - but I was amazed to see how many posters before you posted something similar before that. The OP clearly stated that he didn't want to see those comments - and he explained why - because he sometimes lets the kids fly it and has probably given them a rule to always use the automatic landing. Did the other posters not read his entire message or just suffer from comprehension problems? Ugh. Starting to remember why I took a months break from this site.
So...why do some people think that hand catching is a superior way to land. And for all of the people I've seen promoting it as "the best" strategy. I haven't seen a single one of them offer any instructions on "how to" do it for the new pilots they are replying to - or post a link to a tutorial. Notching. Just a useless statement with questionable advice.
