How do you stay away from the snap on landing? Keep your airspeed up and ''fly'' it onto the runway?
Yes, you don't cut throttle while you are in approaching. You have two to four clicks on the throttle stick to keep some speed. It really depends on your link adjustment. Then you fly until the wheels touch ground or you are less than 6 inches from ground. A good tip is to practice very low speed at high altitud and watch how the plane stalls. You will get the right feeling of how many stick clicks you need to keep the plane flying at a reasonable slow speed for landing.
