What is the diameter of MM, for a landing pad

[Drony_Drone]

Looking at MM the rear leg looks like it almost touches the ground and so I can imagine if landing on grass or gravel, or even a path in case dust etc gets sucked up it’s not ideal.

So what is the diameter of a landing pad needed as there is so many on Amazon. What is the diameter when MM has its legs in flight position please so I can look around.

If so, I would plan to try and fit or clip it to the fly more combo case, if it wouldn’t fit inside, maybe a pocket on side or something? Anyone do this? Do most use a landing pad or just hand launch and catch when landing?

Thanks

Most seem to be 24” +/-

There is smaller ones I’ve found on Amazon. I’d rather have one that just fits, as in small as possible for carrying. What is smallest MM could land on?

I was thinking of using a big mouse pad ?

That would be a Rat-pad wouldn't it??? ?

Or you could use a larger one, maybe a Maxi-Pad

No one got a MM can measure what size it would need?

All amazon says is compatible with x,y,z. I’d rather know the size though

Thanks

most of the foldable ones range from 24 inches to 36 inches diameter a 24 inch would be plenty for the MM just measured my minis footprint and the smallest mat would be a 9 inch by 9 inch square or a 12 inch circle

A frisbee would work as well.

Great, so if I can find a 12” diameter that’s enough yes? It’s just I sitting want a massive one so maybe a 12-15” is enough.

Thanks

There is some error... get one large enough to still be on the pad with at least 12-20” difference from TO. My 24” is spring loaded and folds to a flat 10-11” circle.

i use a 2 ft by 2ft square homemade pad for my MPP and MM and the sizes i quoted were the smallest possible for the MM, but i would not like to have to land on a 9 inch square if it were windy,it's better to have some leeway for landing,

Agree I suppose I just didn’t want a too big one as trying to carry everything together. So if MM minimum is 12” diameter then a 15” onwards be a good minimum.

Just don’t want a too big for portability that’s all. All seem to be 24” onwards.

Here’s mine folded and unfolded. Easy to transport as I often hike into the mountains for flying...

The flymore case is big enough to manually land. RTH has several feet margin of error since MM doesn't have precision landing.

Hmm, Mouse pad is not a bad idea to keep in the case in the event I don't have my regular landing pad with me.

You mean you can land on the fly more case?

What do you mean on RTH precision landing? You mean if use RTH it won’t land exactly on home point? But you can cancel RTH once you can see and manually pilot it to land?

Yes and Yes
Yes, as the RTH relies on GPS and has a plus/minus accuracy of a foot or two, you can cancel it as it's landing and manually take over, and yes you can manually land it on the FlyMore case if it's not too windy. Or do a hand land.

I have the two foot (0.6m) pad that came with an accessory bundle, but I seldom take it out of the car. Once I learned to hand launch & catch my Mini, it’s all I do nowadays.

i always use a land pad because i am on a anticoagulant so have to be very careful not to cut myself
