Yeah, that's right I had to use a crane several hundred times.

Trying to land at blue line won't go to well for you, unless you like wheel barreling half the time.

it's a dodgey practice to get into if you plan on flying a jet at any stage
I have a bad habit of knowing what airplane I'm in instead of flying them all the same way. One unit of up trim in the 1900 just makes handling the round out a bit easier. If you refuse to trim in a situation where you cross the threshold at Vref +120 then you'll slam the aircraft pretty well (That' wasn't a 1900 but it was a turboprop, and it was appropriate to the operation).
