Default RE: DNU and landing....

Well now I just feel silly....
Whatever you do, don't feel silly for asking a question. It was a good question and generated good answers. The truth is that the DNU, and most other 1/2A size planes, are so light they can be landed at almost 0 groundspeed (what I call a one point landing) and sliding or skidding is not something that you get very often. They just sort of plop down on the grass and you're done.
