Default RE: Zero speed landing possible ?

I was out trimming a freeflight model at a small local airfield. Two Aeronca cropdusters came in for a landing. They approached perpendicular to the runway, came over the electric lines, and stalled onto the runway, turned on the ground and taxied maybe 50 feet into the hanger. I was impressed. So a conventional airplane can make a darn slow landing!
