In your video you were fighting the natural tendancy of trainers to climb at high throttle with down elevator... you said it yourself several times in the video.

While that may make the plane "feel" better at higher speeds, when you slow it down, the plane wants to drop the nose hard as it looses lift, which you also complained about in the video.

An instructor would have maidened the plane for you, trimmed it out, and then let you try it on a buddy box, so you get used to the tendancies of the trainers.

A good properly trimmed trainer will practically land itself. All you have to do is get it lined up, chop the throttle and keep the nose level with the horizon by applying back ( up elevator ) pressure on the stick to hold it this way.

When I teach students I show them how to land by having them imagining the runway about 15' higher. Once they are used to lining up the plane at this "safe" height, I'll wait until they are in a good approach and hold the engine at idle, telling them just to hold the elevator up and let the trainer settle itself down.

Usually they execute their first good landings this way much to their own surprise.

Once they pull that off, I'll have them go to the opposite side of the oval and KILL the engine, while talking them through the same... for their first deadstick landings.

Most tell me "that was INTENSE".... after receiving a round of applause... They stop fearing landings and deadsticks after that.
