Default RE: Parkzone P-51 Preflight check list and Launch tips

The first (and only so far) landing was a little rough, at about 6 feet altitude I starting cutting back the throttle and it suddenly nosed in hard, fortunately into tall grass, so only minor damage though the battery hatch came off and I didn't notice until much later and I couldn't remember exactly where it came down, oh well.

So I need some tips on landing, should i give it a little up elevator as I cut throttle to keep the nose up or will that just make it more prone to a tip stall?
