Geist,

I noticed that the DA 50 will idle all the way to the bottom of my throttle trim when it's warm, but not prior to takeoff. I LOVE THAT. I think part of what I consider 'getting used to' faster landings includes learning how to slow it a bit. I will see where the CG is and try backing it up a bit.

A shallow approach is the easiest to slow for me while dropping it in hot is a bit hairy. The snap tendency is exaggerated on a steep approach...at least it seems that way. The last problem I am working on is pulling too early to drop the tail after touch-down. Sometimes I have to land twice, giving just enough throttle to avoid a snap.

Thanks for the tips!!
