I sympathize. I learned in the 70's on two channel gliders. Every landing a dead-stick and, for some reason, easier than my early powered R/C attempts. The secret is to slow the model down and get it low BEFORE the final approach. Coming in hot and at 40 feet up won't give you space to bleed of speed and altitude. When you realize it's not dropping you point the nose down and that makes her speed up. Bouncy, bouncy.

You want it about stalled when the wheels touch. On a hotter model that's often not a problem as they have a higher (and more violent) stall speed. Trainers have a light wing loading and take a lot of trying to get them to stall. Take her down to a crawl on the last downwind leg before the turn. Takes a lot of practice to know how your model slows, and the tendency is to come in "two mistakes high", which, unfortunately, is too high for landing. Also helps to have a very low idle. On my radios I set a low idle switch that is too slow for taxiing on the ground (konks out in 20 seconds or so) but allows for as slow an approach as possible in the air. A lower pitch prop will also help from the drag effect at low speed.

I still have a good reputation for smooth dead sticks at our club. They don't bother me much. I had over a dozen eventless dead-stick landings in one day with a @!%#^ Kangle engine I was trying to get running. On the other hand - my reputation for tuning glow engines isn't so good.
