RE: landing technique
You can pratice all you wish.....but if you're at a low power setting and slow flight and give an up input in the elevators you're going to stall and smash the deck.....I always tell my students that you just can't cheat on the elevators to land...not enough elevator and you bounce down the runway collecting lots and lots of flights that last about 4 seconds...too much elevator and you only get one landing...but you have to straighten out the gear......
throttle management along with elevator is the key.....good luck and let us know how you do
