Default RE: Tips to make you a Better Pilot:

I'm very much agree with Top Gunn regarding crosswind landing because I've noticed them a lot on high energy performance aircraft such as scale aircraft and jets. But don't forget that Speedracerntrixie and sensei has their points also, speedracerntrixie has reliable source of infomation - his experience. Aside from that, I've seen guys here with good reputation even with some post seems like wrong but eventually brings light...

This is what I see, scale aircraft specially jets are naturally stable but theirs are not. Other than that, they have lighter wing loading where they can land at lower speed. Jets are usually longer, has considerable amount of stabilizer area, shorter wings span, moslty are swept and use bigger amount of flaps on landing. Since it's high wing loading aircraft it requires speed in relation to the runway for safety and authority during landing...
