Here's a group of beautiful F-16's. Some of these landings are horrible ... the kind a beginner would do with a trainer. Especially the last landing. (landings start at 3 minutes into the video). Someone who flys jets should have better airspeed control, and not drop them in.

These F-16’s were at Top Gun. They were all trying to perform a full-scale like high alpha landing for maximum scoring. This lower speed high alpha landing is not an easy task with the model. The speeds start getting pretty low to get the right decent rate with power on. Many times they are on verge of stalling those 40+ lbs. models. You should give it a try sometime.
I know most of the pilots in that video and I can tell you they are all top notch and if they wanted to, could land those F-16’s like a butterfly with sore feet.
