Default general ? Cap 232

Its an inherant difference in the Cap (and other scale models of similar planes) The design is intended to be able to snap-roll and do other stall maneuvers crisply. This decision by the designer gives the plane an increased tndancy to tip-stall at low speed durring an approach.

Keep the speed up a bit on the approach. When the wheels touch, feed in DOWN elevator to lift the tail, and the whole wing acts as an air brake. (very effective while the plane's rolling fast... then the tail suddenly drops.) This is a trick used by R/C Pylon racers to be able to safely land thier high speed aircraft.
