Default RE: Power Plane Landing Technique Question

Sandal brought up a good point. Hold the flare at about 2" off the ground. The very last part of landing sounds a little counterintuitive, but once you're in the flare, do not allow the plane to touch down until you just can't hold it in the air any longer. Gradually increase up elevator to stay 2" off the ground. Your goal is to stall onto the ground. If you do this, the plane will not have enough energy to bounce
