Hey to all C 160 pilots, I think I'm beginning to see that the C 160 needs to be kept as light as possible????? I like to think that I am very experienced in single engine airplanes, and quite experienced with a Twinstar. My Twinstar weights 6.24 lbs and flies & lands awesome. Like other heavy birds, it likes power on final. I make sure that it is high so that it's coming "down hill" on final. Then I use power to set/control the glide path/decent rate. Once off the runway threshold, I reduce power a couple of clicks and "flatten" the decent using elevator. At abot 18 - 20 inches I chop the power and begin flare. Works great every time. Can I expect this with the C 160?

Oh by the way, from what I have read, it appears that the FX 25s are way to much power. So I have OS LA 25s on order. Hopefully will get going soon. Thanks again. Skip D
