What is your runway specifications at the field in the vid?
That kind of touches on the question I had about the landing issues .. IF you are flying off of 500-600ft of concrete it removes a lot of the problems with getting the GB down.. IF tho, you are flying off of 250-275ft of runway then getting the bird down on a postage stamp is a little bit more difficult.. Setting up for a spot landing with this bird is far more difficult than getting the pleasure of flying it to the ground and let it touch down wherever and roll out.. I am not knocking those who have the facility to land this way but to some people the landing issues with the plane are not always there plane setup, sometimes it is where you are flying/landing the plane..

FWIW, to get a handle on the landings I doubled all the recomended throws...

JMO,
