RE: prop pitch
Guys, landing into a wind (especially with a light wing loading such as the showtime), you have to FLY the plane to the ground. Trying to idle it in, with the tail low will only create problems that will eventually end with airplane damage. How many times have you seen someone landing into a wind trying to do just that, and all of a sudden the wind stops blowing for a second, and BAM, the plane falls out of the sky. Keep the nose pointed down, and keep the throttle up until you get just a few inches above the ground, then chop the throttle and let the plane settle in (keeping the plane as level as possible--if anything, still slightly nose down). Going nose up for a flare at this point will only invite disaster--ballooning, and such. Keep the nose down, keep the wing parallel to the ground, and fly the thing home.
I still struggle from time to time, but it's usually after I've flown one plane for a while, then get another one out (that has different characteristics). It takes a couple of go arounds to get it all straightened out. YOu need to practice this when there is no wind as well. I forced myself to land like this for months--with or without wind. That way it all looks and feels the same to you. The only thing wind will do is shorten your landing approach, but it should not alter your style. Then, after you're comfortable with it all, you can go back to the big flares, and 3 point landings when the wind isn't blowing.
