Johnny - there is no real difference in landing a trike or tail dragger, you just look at the plane and make it do what you want. I find both lift off and land the same. I always flare my planes for landing so I guess its the same for me. I know what you mean about the Chipmunk ... the canopy, the fuse ... old school lines, I love the ZLIN too ... too bad they are hard to come by ... I hear there is a ZLIN Akrobat ARF in the UK, think its ZN Lines. The plane looks great, its light too. Those were the days of slim planes. ZLIN, Chipmunk, Laser 200.
