Hey Jim, the hot landing speed I am talking about is a relative term. Its a lot faster than my LT25 for example but certainly isn't a problem and all my landings have been very smooth. I had another plane that would land very hot until I learned that it like lots of up elevator to slow it down and would then land at a crawl. I got the plane near the end of the flying season and haven't had the plane to the field more than a few times. The plane may land a lot slower but haven't hadmuch of chance to experinment. Need warmer weather now! []
