RE: Making a Good Landing
One way to judge airspeed when flying towards yourself is to note how much elevator you are holding. The more elevator the slower your airspeed.<div>
</div><div>Most R/C pilots don't land correctly; they fly the model into the ground and wonder why it bounces. The key is to hold the model just off the runway by steadily increasing elevator input. Ideally, you run out of elevator and stall just as the wheels touch down. No bounce.</div><div>
</div><div>Crossswind? No problem. Lower the upwind wing slightly to prevent gusts from causing an uncommanded roll. Keep the model tracking coincident with the runway with gentle rudder input.</div>
