the last time i was on this forum was about the flap raising issue, you will not "slam dunk " onto the ground if you are only 3 feet up wend you retrack flap. Short landing .. Two most important thing's; speed and most important is ROD, You can have the best speed control in the world, but if it is to flat you will float. You have to be :Behind the drag curve and need power to control the rate of descent, control speed also by power and that thing at the very back of the aircraft, drive it all the way to the ground and at the last moment round out , add a small amount of power to arrest the ROD and stop. Taxi alllllllll the way to the end of the strip
