3 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?

1 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.

2 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

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

6 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

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