LMAO!I use my teeth so I don't get finger prints all over the landing skids.
I understand if flying in bad landing area / on a boat etc. - but if ground is reasonable .. why not land out properly ?
Dusty desert floor does not make for good landings. Quick take-offs I can handle. Hovering over flying dust for more than a couple of seconds scares the crap out of me, don't want the fine grit in my gimbal.Can someone please explain why someone would hand catch everytime ?

I do practice landing on smooth, solid rock every once in a while, however.
Ouch sorry to hear that! I was quite thankful I had already read this thread so i knew exactly where and how to grab the AC. Despite the fact it was trying to get away from me I safely held it and shut off the battery without injury. It definitely can be done safely but I avoid it.Thats funny right there... I guess I hand caught mine too... It was on my hard case, I spun it up, and it was windy enough that it started to half take off on its own, just enough to tip off the side of the case, and I grabbed it before it hit the mud... Made a nice job of my fingers LOL
