Just land on something soft!

thanks, my only concern is if the mount can take it or will it rip the screws from the wood? thanks jb.

I've had the gear off my Yak before. Just land softly. If your concerned about the belly put some blenderm tape or packing tape along the bottom just to keep the foam from getting too scarred.

I belly land mine a lot. Just take the brake off the motor, or have a very soft brake.
Never had any issues with durability, just float it into the grass.
