Description
3DR Solo BB1A5A00451 {GRCA4}: Training mission. Had a hard landing while flying manual to `return to launch` site. Flying in `slow` mode, and the controls were not responding well: when I tried to land and disarm, sUAS landed, did a small bounce and flipped over, breaking the props. No damage to sUAS or payload: disarm did not work upon landing.
Reported Cause
Loss of control.
