You've taken Miserlou's perfectly reasonable reply and jumped on him. I don't for a minute think he meant you were landing in such a configuration. I think he meant that if flown the way you describe, you straighten out just before land then have that extra speed to lose in ground effect and float down the runway. That's fine on a long runway, but if like often the case with me, I need to slip coming into a very short strip over woods to lose that last bit of height. Any float would make the exercise pointless!

You'll probably think I'm having a dig too, but it's really just constructive criticism .... Which is the whole point of these threads surely?
