Tom: don't know if you will have the same nose-over problem as my STARS built 30% D8 but I found the best approach was to land at high speed with wing level and tail up and then let friction slow it down as you closed the throttle and stayed on the elevator. My 30% STARS built D8 has a real heavy wing and with all that weight acting above the CG is what I think makes it nose over easily. Hurri has sent me two images today of the 1/4 scale D8 that he built and that I now own. Didn't have digital images of my own available and you may like to compare color schemes. Look Familiar?[[
