At what voltage do you land your quadcopter?
#1
At what voltage per cell do you land? 
Now in my MinimOSD settings and Cleanflight, I am using 3.4V for warning and 3.3V for critical.

I land when the buzzer beeps (3.3-3.4V), but after landing I see 3.7V. Is that normal?

It's normal that the voltage drops under load.
I have my warning at 3.5V so i stop with full throttle manoeuvres. Critical at 3.3V for hover when i really need to come down.

It's better to stop earlier I found. 3.5v beep better stop. The more sagging the shorter the life of battery will get, so it's not worth for the extra maybe 30 secs enjoyment to shorten the battery life.

I got my alarm at 3.6V, you don't want to discharge your lipo too much if you want them to last.

Used to have it on 3.7, but I kinda know my time by now so I mostly land on 3.7.

I believe newest 14.2 BlHeli doesn't even have lipo cutoff. I've heard talks that it's not reliable if you use less than 4 lipo cells.
Anyways I don't use any cutoff at all and I get little longer fly times

I park it at or even before 3.7, and they're never out of balance when I put them on the charger.

Land on 3.7 which is when my alarm should start going off.

As a lot of the time i'm flying over concrete i don't want to risk the quad falling

Lol that's quite funny.. I had that a few times myself the voltage drop isn't linear and especially fast towards the end of the pack so it's easy to misjudge

You have so much space to fly just enjoyable to watch !!

Alarm usually goes of at 3.6V then I land.
