RE: Jetmach floating on landing
The best tip I've had as far as landings go is
"Throttle controls the height, elevator controls the speed"
So if you are landing too fast, you need to use the elevator to get the nose up on approach. This increases drag, reducing speed,, then you adjust height with throttle.
Ive been to a few jet meetings and see people closing the throttle miles out and "diving" for the threshold. The usually ends up in the model bouncing or floating miles past making a touchdown difficult
