I'm still trying to figure out how to land this plane. It DOES NOT land like the RV-4, or at least the one I had. At 80 mph, engine idle, this thing drops like 750 fpm. At 70 to 75 mph on final, it takes a healthy push of the throttle to arrest the descent. My first landing caught me by surprise and I bounced the plane pretty good. I still bounce the thing at least once. Seems like 80 to 85 with 1200 rpms or so will be needed to produce light touch wheel landings like I had with the RV-4 at idle and 70 mph but I'm not sure. Help.
If I came across the numbers at 80 to 85 in the RV-4, I'd float 1500' or more. The "3" doesn't float at all. I kinda like that, I think.
