First flight will be today, weather permitting. Axi 2212/26, 1300 lipo, 8x6 prop. CG is right at the wing spar. Question: how do I land this plane with no gear without breaking the prop or damaging the motor. Any recommedations will be appreciated.

What I do is to make sure the prop is turning but the power is off when I touch down then the prop will never be pointed down.

So far prop breaking on the bearcat has not been a issue also use a E prop, the don't break as easy as a SF prop.

I flew a bunch of times yesterday and prop breakage was not an issue. The Bearcat lands slow and soft.

I use the "Brake" mode on the ESC and prop breakage has not been an issue.
