RE: Making a Good Landing
My suggestion only applies if you don't mind doing wheel landings. Fly your model with a slight amount of down trim dialed in during your landing approach. Stay off the elevator and use throttle management to ascend or descend during the approach. Keep the wings level with airleron and the nose straight with rudder. If your short of the threshold raise the throttle and if too high lower the throttle. Your flying an imaginary glide slope and at first your approach may look like a roller coaster ride. This is normal and allow yourself for aborting a few approaches. When aborting advanced the throttle slowly and fly down the runway gathering airspeed lost during your approach. Repeat the process again until your glideslope resembles the high side of a triangle. That being a straigh line which is angled. Once this pattern is attained you will reach the point where the main gear is parallel to the ground and is losing altitude gradually. The point of landing is fixed either in front of of you or past you at a distance of about twenty feet. The mains should touch down with sufficient flying speed to keep the horizontal parallel to the ground. Reduce your throttle to idle and allow the plane to bleed of airsppeed during which the stabilizer will slowly come down on its own. Once the tailwheel touches the runway apply some up elevator to assist in braking. At no time during this wheel landing should you apply up elevator. This is easier said than done but it works for me and others.
