I'm not talking about my experience, I can land anything. I'm basing it on 20+ pilots I see in England regularly and we don't have 1000' runways available, even the airfields only tend to have 300' of decent surface either side of an intersection, as the runways were set in 1940! My local grass field is less than 300' and we have around 10 guys with varying experience flying UF models and they generally land fine. Yes some have the odd bounce early on, but they all get there with stock CARF gear and springs.

I'm sorry, but being able to fly rolling circuits does not mean you can read speed. Flying fast is easy, flying slow is where the skill is.
There are pilots here who don't get on with landing the UF, generally they have come from draggy jets that slow themselves, so land easy. The UF is not going to land itself, but it flies very slowly once you scrub the speed.

Bad work man blames his tools is what we say here. I'm not getting at you, but there is nothing wrong with the UF gear.
