Default RE: LANDING TECHNIQUES ???

Gentlemen, I was flying a JHH A-4 before installing the equipment in the Savex L-39. The A-4 was easier to land. These are both small aircraft with the A-4 bleeding off speed a little better probably because of the modified delta wing. Both had flaps at about 45 degree landing configuration. On the good landings I've had I actually had full flap in and chopped the throttle on my downwind leg, kept the nose down and speed up while pointing the plane at the end of the runway after turning base.Once down to about 3-5 feet high I would let it run till speed bled off enough so I could pull the nose up and flair. It's just hard to duplicate for some reason and a good portion of it is "mental". That spectator thing you were talking about! Will practice some more tomorrow...... DB
