Default RE: Elevator use during landing approachs

I use the throttle to control the decent. I use a small amount of elevator back-pressure
during the base and final turns to help regulate the decent. Once I have made the final
turn I stay off the elevator, letting the plane decend until I'm ready to begin the flair.
It's simple technique, but it works for me. I make adjustments for different models and
wind conditions. [sm=shades_smile.gif]
