Ahh the great landing a 28 debate. Here's 2p worth... I agree with Cusco. On Hershey Bar Arrers and 235s you'd better have a nadge of power in or you'll know all about it!

(Dub Trub if it wre a deadstick I don't think I'd care if it was a bit firm as long as every body walked and even better you could still use the a/c) Do the same thing in a Warrior or and Archer and you'd better have a lot of runway (never had an elevator authority probem at idle on the Acrher myself one two three or four up.. I 've always found that power to idle at round out then hold it off and land with the warner hooting -usually gives a crowd pleasing result)

I suspect this is to do with greater wing loading... after all bigger engines, wobbly props, gear up and down stuff, more fuel (in the case of the 235) all weighs after all. Don't have any Arrer 3 or much 4 time and zilch Dakota time so can't say how they behave.
