Default RE: Crow on a Super Balsa Bandit??

I have a classic bandit and a super balsa bandit on the building board. The classic is an absolute darling to fly and land (hence buying the super bandit) with no hint of tip stall and it is a bit on the heavy side. I do a circuit on 1/3 power letting is slow down wack in take off flap again letting it settle then before the final turn into wind put full flap in keeping 1/3power on line it up LONG AND LOW approach as soon as you know its going to make the strip come off the power then if she looks to fast wack the airbrake in hold her off until she settles in - if you touch down before you ALMOST run out of elevator your going too fast.

And as for the adjustments for clam or stronger winds just keep the power on longer or come off earlier. Its the easiest plane to land I've ever flown its a darling.

Check the lateral balance

Thats how I land and I hope this help

All the best
