Need some advice from the sailplane community. I’ve flown my turbine powered U-2 6 or 7 times and each landing resulted in damage. The airplane flies like a dream until you pull the power and slow it down for the approach. The airplane becomes unstable in pitch as the aircraft slows. It appears the tail is stalling before the wing (modified Clark-Y). Increased flap deflections make the elevator less effective.
Take a look at the videos below. The first is not mine but appears to be from the same Kranz kit. Anyone experience anything like this with a sailplane?
