Most of my test flying is in a gym with "NASTY" ceiling snags, so "No-
touch" is a prerequisite. My earlier reply automatically included
measures for that condition. And, the tendency is to under-power the
model.

Scrub away, if there is no worry, but I would test various rubber
combos as quarter motors. I think I rely on the decent being at least
2/3 of the flight.
