I was flying with my son this am on wet grass. After a couple landings/crashes in the grass the motors didn't seem to be arming correctly. I walked over and I was trying to diagnose the problem when at least a couple motors did arm and the quad leapt up in my direction. I have three good cut areas on my arm and bruise on my chest.
My theory is that the wet grass clippings and moisture caused the malfunction. I got home, removed the props and it seems to be running fine again now that it's dried out
Ouch! that looks painful.
Admittedly I fly on wet grass probably more than I should. Unfortunately being in Georgia if I didn't I'd rarely have anywhere decent to fly.
I think you have convinced me to put something out to take off and land from.
My buddy has a heli pad thing that he puts out and while it's too small for landing it's a cool little thing. I might make something similar to it out of an old sheet or something. Perhaps 4x4 ft with stakes to drive it in at the ends.
