I have tried landing from each end etc. When on base leg, you cannot see the runway for a while then the nose is down and in a turn ......hard to recover. Practice .. I do fly a real model but no landings yet. I tried the Gee B but it was way too quick, Yak too. I have to stay with the learning elec and others. I tried the Harrier and wheels up then a puff of smoke on the horizon. Funny ans heck. Love this hobby. gphil
As I said earlier, use the virtual instructor to get your points of reference to set up the landing. You cannot see the runway on the approach, but follow the path that the virtual instructor used as closely as you can. Keep the airspeed up so that youj don't stall it on approach. At some point, you will see the runway. If you are not lined up properly, add throttle and go around until you find that glide-slope that is lined up correctly.
This takes time to figure it out. You may take a few days of practice but eventually, as we all did, you will figure it out and your landings will get better and better.
