Default RE: Plane does not want to land


ORIGINAL: MinnFlyer

This trait is not uncommon in 3D planes
Yup, my Yaks, Funtana, Giant U-Can-Do and Katana's ALL do exactly the same thing, yet none are tail heavy.

I've learned to pull off throttle earlier and keep the nose down until the plane is just above the runway, letting it slow until it stalls a few inches above the pavement.

If I try a normal approach, I'm prone to "drop" the plane onto the runway at stall.
