Default RE: First Take off and Landings!!!!

Congratulations, not bad at all for a first day out. Nosewheel landings are common. You just need to get the plane in landing attitude sooner and then control the speed/altitude without changing the attitude if possible. It should just float in for a main wheel landing if done right.

3/4 up elevator, I'm guessing a grass runway as that seems like a lot for pavement. Keep the shakes, they will keep you from getting cocky and making mistakes. Calm down later.
