Depends on how short you want to land. For short field I'll fly 55-60mph over the fence with 3rd notch of flap. Control is very good. If I don't care how short, then I will fly 65mph over the fence.

Short landing

Post by gregorydshanks »

When you fly 55-60 over the fence, are you using a steep approach, or dragging it in?

For me, the "flat wing" approach as espoused in the Backcountry videos improved my landings incredibly. Especially helpful adjusting to the difference between a lightweight flight and max gross flight.

That depends on how high you are and far the fence is from the touchdown point.

Instead of fence think 30-50 ft trees. Changes the calculations some.
