I can hover entire packs and stay within a 3x3x3 foot square relatively well now, also flew myself out of a few potential crashes due to wind.

I have consistently noticed that when you go to land on your final approach when you get about 1 foot off the ground you immediately gain ground effect lift. Recently I've been trying to put myself down on a 8.5"x8.5" square and I'm finding for over precise landings your approach will be near perfect until you hit ground effect and end up missing your mark.

I was wondering if the more experienced pilots can give some final approach tips the two areas I find difficult to manage are:

1. Suppose your are at dropping at your current throttle once you hit ground effect your low throttle will gain a surplus of lift and you will stop dropping. The heli will also immediately become slippery and want to not hold a stable hover.

2. Often times because of #1 you will "bounce" that is barely touch the ground before you lift off it again unless you rapidly throttle down.

the reason why I don't like rapidly cutting throttle is that it usually swings my heli cw unless I apply left rudder to stop the tail from spinning.
