Default RE: Hotspot questions

Gary,
The hotspot will slow down when you put the nose up. I control my descent on final with my throttle. As I turn on final I get lined up, pull the nose up a little and watch the descent rate. If I start to descend to fast I add throttle and if I am not descending fast enough I just come out of the throttle. The only trick as with any delta is not getting the nose to high. On a full power application for a go around my hotspot has no bad tendencies. When it has the speed it just starts to fly again and no porpoising. I had some problems when I first started flying it worrying about the airplane stalling on approach so I was coming in way to flat which led to coming in really hot which leads to bouncing. After someone pointed out to me what I was doing wrong I was able to correct and now my landings are smooth. Every once in awhile I still bounce it a little but not to bad.


Patrick.
