Hobby & Making
Alternatives
- Hand launch/catch— Common with small drones; practice required and props near hands.
- Car hood / flat rock— Improvised — mind the paint and the dust.
Maintenance notes
- Shake out grit before folding; let it dry before storage.
Buying considerations
- 30" suits sub-250g to midsize drones; bigger props want the 43" pad.
- Stake loops matter — a pad that blows away during landing is worse than none.
