Question Ultralight Flight Characteristics

Ghengis The Engineer or anybody,

If you read this....HELP!!!!!

I'm a trainee QFI trying needing help as the general aviation oriented training texts can't seem to help me with flying low-inertia aircraft.

Are there any resources on the web; texts; papers that describe the handling/aerodynamic of ultralight aircraft, that you can recommend?

My problem is that I am applying light aircraft handling techniques in the Jabiru and its not working. For example, on approach and landing I've tried 1.3 x Vs or 57 KIAS as per the POH for my "Vapp" and it seems to slow and it; controls are spongy at best requiring some larger control deflections which seem to do little.

Thanks for your help.

Aye
