When I was leaning to hang-glide my instructor (a bit pissed that I'd just crunched two uprights in seperate "landings") said "look.. the aircraft will not fly at a constant height, it sinks at a rate of about one metre for twelve flown forward, if you hold a constant height the speed will bleed off, when you get close to the ground... fly it level! your airspeed and height will decrease, the more the airspeed decreases the more height you will lose and the more you'll have to push out (it's a hang-glider remember) in an attempt to maintain height, just as your feet are about to touch the ground push out fully and the aircraft will stall and you'll land on your feet"
Translated into light aircraft speak: attempt to fly along the runway at a contant height without power, as the airspeed bleeds off the aicraft will start to sink, the more airspeed that is lost the more you'll have to pull back to maintain height, which will slow you down so you'll sink even more, there'll be a point when the aircraft will no longer fly and this will hopefully be when the main gear are a couple of inches off the hard stuff.
N.B. Don't try this at 150 feet on final, the wheels will get shoved through the wings in the resulting merger of aeroplane and Earth. Choose a more appropriate height, as previously posted 4-5 feet would be perfect
Happy flying.... and landings!
