I have about 24 minutes of total RC flight experience. Of those, about 20 were spent on a buddy box with an instructor.
With that out of the way, I can ask my dumb question: How in the heck are we supposed to land these FT planes (e.g. Tiny Trainer, Bloody Baron, etc.) that have no landing gear?
While I suppose any cessation of motion while in contact with the ground constitutes a landing, I am still struggling with my FT Mini Scout (with wheels!) to have successful landings that do not break a prop.
This leads me to worry about what is going to happen with the Trainer and Bloody Baron! What's the trick/tip/technique here?
Also...while I'm somewhat on the topic...it seems that the nose-mounting of the batteries that is so common to these designs is really hard on the packs. Until I can improve my skills, should I just plan on destroying a few LiPos? (And probably carry a fire extinguisher!)
