I try to take video in unusual places. This means that while I can take off from the back of my solo back pack, I do not always have a good landing spot. I have been able to do a hand-catch landing into my right hand while I throw the left control stick into down position to kill motors. This has worked for me at least a dozen times. The other day however, the motors would not shut off and the bird was straining to take off. I was not able to press the a-b+pause button with just one hand and luckily remembered to turn the bird over to kill the motors. My question is, what am I doing wrong that the motors did not shut off as I "landed" the solo into my hand.
By the way, this is a very dangerous maneuver and only recommend doing this if you have lots of flying time and in light wind conditions.
