Default RE: Elevator use during landing approachs

There was a 60 size fullwing cub at the field one day that deadsticked from way out. He was coming upwind, and the wind was maybe 10 mph. It almost didn't want to land, it practically hovered out there. He had to point the nose down to get some groundspeed. When he got it over the runway, it was almost like landing a heli. Gave us all a laugh. She practically defied gravity.
