Default RE: Venus Tip Stalls

I've been flying my Venus pretty hard, almost every day in September, first with YS53 then YS63. I normally don't flare much on landing, try to kiss the main gear to the grass and let ground drag slow it down. Once when I was a couple feet off the ground I tried to throttle it along with the tail down and I did get a tip-stall. CG is pretty close to manual recommendations, and it glides beautifully at that setting, as well as performs all the pattern maneuvers. (All the ones I know, at least.)
