RE: Landing
Landing a plane is about the same for tail draggers and tri gear.
Start slowing down and dropping height on your 2nd and 3rd legs. When you turn on final you should be about 6' off the ground and you want to have ABOUT 1/8 throttle on (You may need more if it is windy ).
Now FLY the plane down until the MAINS ARE ABOUT 3" from the ground. At this point you want to reduce the throttle to an idle and SLOWLY add in a LITTLE up elevator AND HOLD IT. What you want to do is bleed off speed - not balloon back up.
The key to a good landing is FLYING the plane down. By flying it down you will be going a little bit faster than if you were idling/gliding down, however, YOU HAVE CONTROL OF THE PLANE. If you have any flying time at all, I don't have to tell you about the stuff the wind does at 0 - 4' off the ground. The little additional speed means the engine will not be loaded and will respond quicker AND the plane has more flying speed so it will respond and not stall out.
When your mains are on the ground:
For tail draggers - use FULL UP ELEVATOR to "plant" and hold the tail wheel on the ground so you can taxi off the runway.
For tri gear - use full DOWN ELEVATOR to "plant" and hold the nose wheel on the ground so you can taxi off the runway.
