RE: Composite-Arf rookie questions
Anywhere from 65degs upwards, I started out with about 80degs, but after a few posts from those who have been using them longer started to experiment with less, with 65degs the nose will lift upon application and you will have to wait for the ballooning to subside prior to landing, with 80degs the balooning is less, but the drop in speed is almost immediate especially if using reflexed ailerons as well, the nose does will not lift as much so you have to be careful not to land on the nose wheel first, this is what caused the infamous bouncing that some on here said was a trait of the Rookie.
In the end I put the canard and reflex on a side slider and used this to control the approach with a fairly high power setting and nose high attitude.
