REFLECTOR: Tips

[LHOSK at comcast.net]

Lou,

Go get some training at velocity.  I am a retired airline pilot and Navy trained pilot with I don't know how many hours and I felt it prudent to get checked out. (I had not flown a light plane in 30 years). Just land the velocity on the mains and  hold the nose off , it may take quite a bit of back force, slowly lower the nose before the canard stalls. In other words fly the airplane don't let it fly you. It's just another airplane no magic involved.
Good luck,
Lon

Lou,  Likely nothing. Most of us let the nose gear hit pretty smartly, I think. At least I seem to do that. I try to round it out a few feet above the runway but seem to hit pretty smartly in any case. Velocity has a strong gear (mine is an XL FG) and it seems to stand it pretty well.
