Safe landings

There's a few ways to land an aircraft safely, a few more for a remote control aircraft versus a real one, but I'm thinking this is a less common method.

For some reason, either trim or a nifty little cardboard wedge I fashioned into a makeshift safety skid for landing, or maybe even just cuz of some flaw in the design of the control surfaces, the aircraft kept wanting to steeply roll nose up and plummet back down. I punched in power and did a basic stall recovery only to have it sprint over toward some buildings in a split second, so one thing lead to another, and having lost 3 propellers today alone to rough grass landings, decided that a nice soft landing into the cushioned leaves of a Palm played the ideal role of a safe spot.

So there you have it. If anyone finds a safer yet stranger place to bring their RC aircraft down, please share here!

Stay tuned for some videos of the forsaken flights I attempted today!
