Oops!
I wanted to avoid launching from the sand at the beach so I tried launching from my car. As soon as I armed the rotors, the wind got under them and was enough to lift the P3 of the roof and came tumbling down into the sand on the side. Then, I was chasing after it trying to grab the legs while I shut it off - ughh. Props were trashed but drone OK.
My guess is that the wind accelerated as it passed close over the roof of my car. Anyway, I don't plan to do that again.
