REFLECTOR: Tips

[Lou Stedman]

No. I didn't think I would need it as I have about 300+ hours in a LongEZ but now I see that there is quite a difference. I will have to think about making the trip to Florida. I am in NY state. I think it is just a matter of practice. With my long I could hold the nose off half way down the runway but the forces are much lighter on that. Practice, practice, practice is the answer.

  Have you attended the Velocity flight transition training program at Sebastian?

    I need some advice from you Vel flying experts. I have about 12 hrs in my Vel and have yet to master a gentle landing with the nose. I come down final at about 80 kts over the fence and let it settle down to the runway at about 75kts. I do not do a flare. my mains touch down great but then my nose slams down. What am I doing wrong?
