Default RE: Fast, but slow landing

Well, I guess the only type of aircraft that I know of that are pretty fast, and lands pretty slow is a quickie 500. Fast planes generally dont like going slow, because thin(fast) wings do not provide good lift at slow speeds. I think the really light deltas would probably be pretty slow at landing, mainly beacuse of their relatively low weight, and high wing area, and still be pretty quick.
