I've just done 2 hours in one after loads of Piper hours, and am still trying to produce a decent landing. The guy who checked me out on it suggested 65kts on final, could this be the reason?
The (brand new) one I've flown is fine at 65kts on final ... just so long as you get it down to 60kts over the fence, if I try to land it at 65kts it floats and floats and floats ... (the book figure for this one is 56kts for a short field landing).
