As to Landings
A floating 3 point full stall landing is the way to go. If you glide it in it will be on its back nine out of 10 times as you have the gear under your cg and the weight up high.
Once you fly the Nieuport You will be hooked on VK kits
I have since gotten another one and plan to use Model Aviation Magazine plans avialable from 1980 to convert the kit to a Nieuport 24 bis. I also have a Camel and the 1 and 1/2 Strutter
