Once the engine is really tuned / tweaked, as it leans out from running out of fuel, it speed up to it's fullest, then dies. When you start getting to know about how much run time you get out of the fuel tank, you start staying up, half to 2/3 your flying height. Assuming you are flying from a baseball diamond like I was, there is only 1/2 of a circuit that you can actually land, the other half is grass, and your best attempt there is a flop. The half of the circuit from 1st to 3rd base is your target, you may be able to bring it in and land it directly, or you use the altitude to keep up your speed by diving, trying to stretch out the glide some to make it past 1st. Hold it level until just before the wheels touch down, then start bringing in up elevator. If you're too fast, you will climb (for a very short while), if you do, just return the elevator to bring you back to level, then start bringing in up elevator again. When it's right, you will know, as the plane will just settle like it is supposed to. You just have to work on it, it will come with practice. Good luck!
