I had the same problem with my GSP spit, it really was a lousy plane to land. The flaps are killing the flow over the tail for sure. It was tough trying to land on grass without the flaps due to the higher speed. The rudder coupling was one of the worst I've ever had with a warbird too. I'm sorry to say, I really loathed that thing. The GSP FW190 seems to be the best of their bunch. It lands just like a higher loaded warbird should.

Since the flaps on this thing are not scale, I would imagine those with the scale split type would handle different. The spit in it's full size form was not known for greased landings. I went to Duxford in 2000 and saw 20+ fly. Plenty of bumps-a-daisies when they were coming in. I have a yellow spit ready to construct and I have heard it's a real dream to land. It has more scale like flaps, coincidence ?
