Maule Pilots- anyone experience landing 'behind the power curve...' dragging along over the trees at 1600-2000 rpm, and then reduce to get down to runway quick, then a little throttle to cushion the touchdown?
I'm thinking around 50-55 knots, nothing terribly slow ...

Speed seems irrelevant since it depends how loaded u r. Full elevator back and just enough power to keep the nose up... Stall it in, flare using power last second to arrest decent, drop flaps and brake hard. Careful though if engine sputters or u wait to long its goona be a hard landing. About ate it once doing that. Mostly just practice and do what your comfortable with

short landing with vg's
I ask because best landing was by surprise a few years back. We were a little low and slow, heading for sod strip at Hartford Brainard. Flaps were full 40 deg., and added power to hold altitude, then slowly reduce power as the grass touched our wheels. Wonderful!
