Folks,

you might try the following technique. It took me a bit to figure out, but seems to work.

On short final, bring the rpm up from idle, blow a bit of air over the wing and

carry it thru touchdown. You'll be in slow flight and with practice can hold the nose off. I think that the elevator gets in a wind shadow from the main wing, a little bit of air blowing over the wing give the elevator a bit more authority, just enough to keep the nose up.

Unless the RW is real short make all landings soft field.
