One other thing.... are props really as easy to break as the sim implies? Currently it seems if I land at all tilted forward its an instant prop loss. Which is making landing a little harder as I am overcompensating and floating up n down trying to get the thing to land butt first.

On tarmac, Yes.. on grass you might not, but you could push your motor mount out or even bend the motor shaft. Keep Practicing with landing with the nose slightly up. You want your main wheels touching down first, then the nose wheel.
