BETTER LANDINGS

Call out “LANDING” and make your final turn to start your landing approach:

Simply align your shoulders parallel to the runway, line up the model on final, over and in line with your shoulder. This will bring it right down the runway. Since you cannot turn your head a full 90 degrees, the plane will be on Final somewhat out in front of you and in line with the runway.

As the Model is getting closer to the ground, at about 2 feet in the air from the runway, PUT YOUR EYES on the MAIN Wheels of the model, Rear wheels for tri-gear, ease in more and more Elevator until touchdown. (If you look at the whole airplane, you will hit on the Nose Gear.) Get off the elevator until the model has stopped rolling. Hold FULL UP ELEVATOR as you TAXI back to the Pit Area. This will hold the tail down for better taxi control on a Tail Dragger.

Watch the WHEELS, IT WORKS.
