Default RE: Landing

Funny thing for me was that my landings had been really good most of the summer. I made a change to one of my planes, re-balanced, and all of a sudden my landings were less than ideal (to put it lightly).

I learned that I had been flying nose heavy planes from when I started training at the beginning of the summer, and got so used to it I ended up setting all my planes up to be nose heavy. Flying a properly balanced model showed me that I had A LOT to learn about using throttle and less elevator for landings!
