Landing...

Ok.. so I can grease a c152, even a Bavarian Grob G115c! (fully composite tricycle fixed-gear aerobatic low wing with characteristics of a 172. 2 place) but I CAN'T land a c172 worth crap!!!

I have dozens of hours in a 172 (I have 115 total hours rght now and am working on my commercial/instrument ratings) and my pattern work is fantastic, everything is excellent until short final. It's never the same problem twice.... flare too early, too late, not enough, too much. My speed is always good, coordinated, shooting straight down the runway, I just can't seem to get the flare right in the 172!!!
