Default Flying the Roo

The speed brake is very effective.
It will land very slow, thats the best way to land it to avoid the dreaded Kangaroo bounce.
The dragging brakes is a good suggestion.
Otherwise the manual is right, full up elevator and pour the coals to it, it won't over rotate, let off the elevator when it breaks ground.
Full power will keep it on the ground longer, half power it's off the ground in 100 ft or so.
You will love this plane, just a ball to fly.
