I have an over weight underpowered low wing SPAD (www.spadtothebone.com) that I am using to practice hot landings. I learned real quick that trying to float in was not going to work with this plane as it did as these experts describe, tip stall. For little money (about $20) you can put one of these together with the parts from your trainer. By the way. When I botched my final about 3 ft off the deck there was no damage to the plane at all. Just restart and try again.
