gphil,
Remember to keep the nose down while on final so that you maintain a slight down angle to the runway. As if the plane was coming down from a slight hill. Also,maintain a few notches of powerabove idle to maintain airspeed and stability.My technique is to pull the power back to idle, and then add a few notches of power. When the plane goes slow, it becomes unstable and will aerodynamically stall. Fly the plane to the runway with these few notches of power. As you get close to the ground (5 ft above the ground), reduce the power and level the planewitha slight bit of UP elevator.... just a touch! (This is the hardest part, and will require lots of practice to not 'balloon' the landing.) Ideally, by this time, the plane will be about two feet above the ground when you get it right. Reduce the power again, or reducethe power to idle. Before the plane gets too slow and stalls, let the wheels touch the ground to land the plane. Until you master this technique, you can expect to bounce the plane on the ground a couple of times, or even crash. The RESET button helps in these cases. Coordination will take some time to master.

You can also change the view of the plane so that you can see what you are doing with the plane from the perspective of a 'chase' plane (from the view of a plane that is following your plane). This will help you to get a better (and closer) view of what your plane is doing while you are at the controls. This viewpoint will help you quite a bit in learning to fly, and land!

One of the problems new pilots ALWAYS do is over-control the plane. You will need to learn that only small amounts of elevator and alireon movement are needed... not a lot! Learn to fly the plane smoothly and level ... don't jerk the plane around with sudden movements. Plan your landings. If things don't look good, immediately do a 'go-around'. Don't wait. Don't try to fix your landing if it is way off ... abort and go around early... especially when you are flying your R/C plane! They don't have RESET buttons!
