opjose,
That landing was actually a fluke, I think it was the 2nd time I landed the plane, in other words I got lucky. It was actually a bad landing because I dropped the plane like you noted.
The way I land this plane now is by turning final and bringing the throttle down to about 1/3 to 1/4 and establish a glide slope, when I reach the end of the field I let the nose come up and add a little throttle to keep it from stalling, as I come onto the field I begin reducing throttle while keeping my forward momentum up until the mains touch down. Note: this is the way I do it now with spoilerons and no elevator compensation, before I had to point the nose down and bring it in hot and try to pull the nose up in perfect timing so the plane will not bounce.
I finally got an accurate mid range scale and weighed my plane.
8lbs 12oz.
Hmmm... Maybe this is why I'm having some difficulty getting it down.
I have to come in hot to keep it flying.
