I have not flown the V tail, but find the newer model is the same, she will do a 3 pointer if you are over 78 knots , so i usually aim for 78 when i close the throttle and wash off the 8 knots in the flare touching the wheels at around 70 knots. I have about 50 hours on the A36, beaut aircraft, far better than the noisy 210's, but those verniers can make you come unstuck if its a gusty final and your winding away! also make sure you say FLAPS IDENTIFIED in your head before you raise the flap, because the gear and flap levers are the wrong bloody way around and i have heard a few ending up on there belly when the pilot pulled the gear on the run on a bumpy gravel strip, squat switch triggered and bottoms away!
