Default RE: bad landing plane HELP

I currently fly a 4 Star 60 and I have owned a 4 star 40 . They can land a little bit floaty wanting to hop if you come in at too high of an angle where you aren't burning off enough air speed. These planes are real floaters and have a long glide. I try to land mine in a pattern where I fly a box reducing airspeed and elevation where the last leg I'm low and coming in at maybe a 10 to 15 degree angle and jest drop her down. I notice too if I have the idle set to high they want to float, make sure your idle is set low. You may also want to check your gear, they may be too springy as well.
