Impressive top down shot DA.  

Easily mistaken for a pad ;-) Like the reindeer body and head on the right of the pad.

I dont usually use the pad,  but thought Id ue it for the snow,  took the smaller one and was skilled enough to still be able to land on it.

I had one, but sold it.
It is not suitable (heavy enough) for the surfaces I need it.
So I try to find a spot to take off from or use a piece of board instead.

Not sure with the mini btw. That is sitting even lower to the ground.

mine comes with stakes to hold it down and this was the first time I used them as last time I used it here it got blown into the pond.

Normally I would hand launch but it was too cold for messing about.

Yeah, I had those too. Rubbish.
At least for where I wanted to use them.
A Swedish forest ground.
That is rather hard.

I used to do that too with MP.
Not sure with M2 thought.
Seems a bit tiny for my hands. (hitting the props is a realistic risk now)

I think you forgot to take the hammer.

I didnt do it as I had a new pair of gloves on and Im still getting used to them.  Well thats my excuse anyway.

great shot DAF! Thanks for sharing!

Especially with the small M2

I’m looking forward to trying that.  From what I’ve seen it’s easier to flip upside than the m2p is.

That seems logical indeed.
Never tried it so far.

I like to flip to kill the motors. When the mini launched Casey neistat made a vid that made it look super easy.

Just don't land in the pond!

I had to rescue the pad from the pond sadly.  The following day I staked the pad just in case.

Maybe I should try it once.

Indeed.
Parts of it are very inspirational.
