[QUOTE="wyx087, post: 10845, member: 1896"] I've always palm launch/landed my Spark. I've also regularly hand launch/catch the much bigger Phantom 2 previously. It's fine. But I did have had 2 problems: one LED cover came off due to a bad hand launch plus a gust of wind, the Spark hit concrete. Also first time hand launch I unknowingly tilted the Spark towards me and it flew into my face. Luckily I dodged quickly. Here's a few tips I summarised to ensure good palm launch: - launch with an open palm. holding the spark by the sides is asking for trouble if there were a side gust of wind. - tilt the Spark away from you slightly to ensure it doesn't take off and fly into you - look and catch the Spark carefully, if you miss the right moment to squeeze your fingers around its side, your fingers will be in propeller chopping area!
