Re: "Which flys slower? Has easier/softer landings? "< In theory the lighter the plane the softer the landings therfore the small park flyer type planes should be able to land slower and softer. In practice a good trainer such as an LT40 with a 70" wingspan will easily land at a slow walk and touches down like a feather. This is due to the type of wing and the size of the wing vs. the weight. The LT40 has the same light wing loading as some gliders.
