im really suprised you think this plane lands hot.
high AOA landings are so easy with this plane that its a crime !
That's what I WISH I could get mine to do. I don't "think" it lands hot, it simply DOES.
Once I increase the spoileron beyond 1/8" my plane begins to wallow around as it slows at approach, then it will drop the nose hard if I let it get any slower... so landings are difficult at best... once it's down it will roll for quite a while.
All the jet guys at my club say "It needs brakes".
At 1/8" spoileron it is much more controllable and lands rather well, but it comes in FAST even if I am attempting to hold the nose up.
Once it is down, it rolls, and rolls, and rolls before slowing down enough for me to turn it off the asphalt... even then I've damaged the gear once or twice when I've turned it before it's slowed down enough.
I've found a few old Dubro mechanical brake systems, that I am thinking of installing on the nose gear. These are basically pressure plates that are pushed against the nose gear to add braking resistance....
