Thanks guys,

I flew it 8 times yesterday. I put the CG a little ahead of 4 in, and it flew great, but it was hard to get a smooth landing, it seemed to fall out the sky the last foot or so.

So I guess I need to more the cg more to the rear.

Or come in with a click or two more throttle. Either that or don't pull off the throttle at the last foot or so. No matter what the CG, they fall out of the sky because they don't have enough airspeed or we have too much elevator input.

Sometimes we don't need another trim change, we need a slightly different flying technique.
