The trick to landing the Hot Spot is the speed. You have to get it slow. Get the nose up on final, and just bleed off the speed, be ready on the gas just in case you need to drive it in. When done right, it just looks cool.
I did have one really nasty one awhile back and got the bounce. It was horrible. Bounced so bad, it came down on it's ***** end. Broke a wing tip and my pride.
There are some tricks to try- dial in a little brake on gear down, as soon as you touch down, you stick. Works with any plane. I know some scale guys that do it. Not too much, or you slide.
