Default RE: landing technique

FLY YOUR PLANE DOWN UNTIL THE WHEELS ARE ABOUT 3" OFF THE GROUND, then flair the plane.

You will most likely be somewhere between 1/8 and 1/4 throttle. When the wheels are about 3" off the ground, cut the throttle to idle and GENTLY feed in up elevator. I suggest making your approach so that the plane is about 2 1/2 - 3 feet off the ground AS YOU CROSS ONTO THE END OF THE RUNWAY.

With a little practice you will be setting the plane down in the middle of the runway, and you will look like a pro every time.
