Default RE: Advice on my landing please?

eaglehope has the correct approach.

You FLY the plane down until the mains are about 3" from the ground. Depending on the wind you should only have 1/8 - 1/4 throttle on at this point. Then reduce your throttle to idle or a little above.

The next step takes some practice to get it right.

What you need to do is add in a LITTLE UP ELEVATOR AND HOLD IT. (What you want to do is bleed off speed, not baloon back up.)

The plane will settle in to a nice landing.
