First of all, I have been flying this plane for three years and I love the way this plane flys, so much so that I am on my second one. My first CAP flew deadstick into our windsock and that pretty much destroyed it. At our old paved field (out at the dump) I use to be able to just float in for a three point landing. Not any more. Our new field is grass and I am having a hell of a time landing. First of all let me explain that I am sure it is just my problem. This weekend I tore out the landing gear (nice and clean) after a gentle stall. On final, I am trying to make a smooth glide to the runway at low idle, but the plane balloons (three to six feet off the deck) and then stalls out. It's powered with a Saito 150 which flys it extremely well. Also, I think there is a stronger wind gradient at this field than our old field. Any advise?
