I can vouch for that! I've been hopping around my yard all day today. the hops are slowly getting longer. I've just made sure that I kept it below about 6 feet, and whenever I thought I was about to hit something I just cut power, and let it fall into the grass. After about 20 of these The only damage has been my right boom support, which I'm about to fix. I'd probably be doing a bit better but it's a little breezy today.
