Default how to land

A properly trimmed trainer will practically land itself... just reduce throttle to idle, and use gentle rudder control (maybe a touch of up after each turn) to line up with the runway. If its trimmed right.. thats it. If its trimmed to fly level at ful throttle...you'll have to hold a bit of up elevator durring the descent, right until the wheels touch.

The lower the touch-down speed (as long as you haven't stalled 5 ft off the runway...) the prettier the landing will be.
