Hello,

Thanks for the reply. I noticed at normal glide to landing, the VSI reads almost 600ft/min. This is about 10ft/s with lift at the best range speed where you have the most L/D ratio.

I also noticed that if I flare too high, the sink rate after the stall is even sharper. So the straight drop should actually be more than 10ft/s. So if the main wheels do hit the ground if I did not add power, then it would be close to breaking the main wheel?
