As I said before, When the model is about 3 feet off the grass or runway, FOCUS your Eyes on THE MAIN GEAR Wheels (REAR WHEELS) and start feeding in more and more elevator. As the model settles in on the MAIN Gear with the nose high, ease off the Elevator.
On a Tri-Gear model:: If you are looking at the TOTAL AIRPLANE, you will hit on the nose gear, bending the gear and breaking the prop.
Ken AMA 1528 since 1948
On a high wing trainer look for the horiz stab to be between the wing and the wheels, after the last turn when the plane is pointed at you.
