One thing your crush tests didn't address: unless you plan to fly these
puppies only in a dead calm, you should think about trying some tests with
a bit of horizontal velocity as well as vertical. (E.g., hang load from a
cable, pull load off center, release side force so it swings back toward
center, drop load as cable reaches vertical.) That does bad things to many
landing systems that look good in a precisely vertical touchdown.
