John,

Landings are an event...not too hard, but yes, I have to maintain some speed.
I dont want to add nose weight, as the plane in question is a 24% 3d aerobat and already weighs 12lbs with a saito 180. Any more nose weight, and it will be nearly impossible to 3d with it. As it is, its hard to get it to do much except IMAC routines.
