Anyone else find the battery door on the P1 a bit iffy?
Seems that it could pop open and dump the battery.

I'm coming up with a way to secure it better since a battery dump at 399ft probably won't have a good outcome.

Velcro seems like a good choice.    Just wondering what others have done (if anything).
Here's a video of the battery popping out during flight...
This guy is lucky that the connector was so tight.
