Just flew my Drake after a long time with a Rhino 170N and we had barely about 5knots headwind & I just couldn’t slow her down enough for landing, resulting in roll outs almost the length of the runaway.
Strangely the test flights were with a Rhino200N and she would land easier
Seems to be too much residual thrust with the Rhino on landing , anybody have this problem ? Any specific technique for landing ?
I guess using the canards as brakes isn't an option?
Will the Thrust vectoring help to get the nose up and slow it down a little more on landing ?
