Slightly Damaged Drone

As others have mentioned, hand catch. It's the best and safest option. Watch some YouTube videos if you're not sure. I've done maybe a thousand hand catches and never had a problem. I had a couple of nervous/failed ground landings early on which prompted me to move to hand catching.

These things are tuff.
My P3 fell out of the sky at 80 feet in a super downward spiral as I seen 1 prop go flying off into a grassy field.
It hit smack on the paved parking lot at about 5mph free fall. landing on one leg,then flipping upside down.parts going every which way.
A new set of legs
New props
1 motor(bent threads)
Recalibrate and was good as new.Very tuff birds indeed.still flying fine months later.
