Default Landing SIG Rascal 40

SIG- Rascal 40 This thing seems to be vary hard to land what would be a better plane to learn to land with? I can fly in the air just fine but have not landed yet.

I can't imagine an easier to fly/land tail dragger than the Rascal. What problem are you having specifically?

A lower pitch prop might help.

You can also try slipping it.

In general, though, "to light" or "a floater" is not a bad thing '

It really sounds to me like you just need to idle down sooner and set up a lower and slower landing pattern.

The larger prop with less pitch sounds like a good alternative. You said you've tried up flaps, you spoilerons or no flaps?
