Status: online 		Guys , when I was at my last event I noticed the guys in masters and advanced were able to land the plane in a very slow high alpha way.. I was shown by another guy how they are mixing the throttle and elevator with a mix and trimming the plane for very slow flight instead of normal flight and getting into this mode with a switch...any insight?

I can't come in high alpha as my tailwheel starts hitting the ground first which thumps the main wheels down. Being an Oxai model, I'd rather land a fraction faster and smoother (flaired 3-point) than dump it down hard 10mph slower.
