Default RE: Landing foamies w/out LG and preventing prop damage?

Landing in tall grass or snow is pretty good.
I don't think you really land fast enough to bang up the prop, it'll just rotate out of the way.

make sure you put a carbon fiber strip, or epoxy the bottom of your plane (or both).
that way the fuse doesn't get chewed up and damaged from landings (especially hard ones)


Also, about prop savers.
I think he mentioned that he doesn't like to use rubber bands, so I'm not sure where to get any non rubberband kinds.
