Anton landing woes

[grafspee]

I only cut the throttle for a few seconds to make it settle down. That short time will not have any influence on engine temperature. By "cut" I don't mean setting the engoine to "Off"; but to "Idle".

 

Same thing. I was talking about descend, i cut throttle just before touch down while flaring, yes this will not have impact on engine temp.

I was talking about landing approach, when in this situation you cut throttle and keep gliding for long time.

I never let it go all the way to idle anyway, not least because I don't want a sudden burst of torque when I'm approaching stalling & decide I'm approaching it a bit fast...

 

Steep approaches in this one I'm not a fan of either - I naturally fly curved approaches anyway out of habit, & that will remove any visibility issues. I've had a few hard landings trying to pull it out of a steep approach.

I cut throttle just before touch down and then i back it up so engine has more then 1000 rpm, engine in A-8 is not allowed below 1000rpm.

I've only flown the D so far since I'm waiting for the A to mature, but I'll probably fly them both the same way in the future, i.e. engine down to 1500 RPM, nose up, bleed speed off, continue raising the nose until you stall just a foot or so above the runway, and do a natural 3-point touchdown. Works like a clockwork.

Overall i find that A8 is noticeably easier to handle in take offs and landings, for me D9 has much more inertia in Yaw axis.

same here!
