Default RE: Landing on tall grass/pavement

You'll have to practice your landings so that the plane is flying at the slowest possible speed when it touches down. After touch down, continue to hold full up-elevator. This is "aerodynamic braking." The only other thing you could do is add flaps. Flaps cause a lot of drag and can help slow on landing.
