I just took my first flights on my new switchback, and it is exactly what I had hoped for. My only problem is landing it without breaking the wooden housing for the landing gear. ( I have flown it three times and broken the wooden supports each time. ) I noticed that while the plane is coming in level, it is essentially stalled. I don't have any up elevator and very little aileron. The result is that it while it is coming in level, it hits the ground fairly hard---well, hard enough to break the wooden housing. Should I leave a little power on while making my final approach in order to prevent it from stalling? This is a excellent plane, and I don't want to break it again.
Thanks Everyone.
