dicksoucy,

I used to have the 4*40 and now I own the 4*60 for those days that I just want a nice easy sport flier to putt around with.

I found that coming in too fast along with make a 4* bounce. They love to land 3-point. You can slow these things up allot and once you get the timing right it's possible to grease them on pretty much everytime. There was 6 months in between flying my 40 and then flying my 60. In that time I went to 120 size and larger planes with higher wing loading so I got used to coming in faster. I bought the 60 and found myself doing bunny hops down the runway because I was so used to landing faster.

It actually took me a few landings to remember how to get a 4* to plant itself on the ground.

Stick with it, it's will come to you.
