Need advice on landings

[Vengeanze]

Thanks Stormcrow and Rattlehead.

@Stormcrow: It's called downwind when u fly parallell to the strip in opposite direction.

I think I got it ok now. Just need to practice more.
When I lower the flaps the noselift is brutal and I must tip the plane shortly so I don't gain too much height. How do u guys conteract the flaplift?

I've noticed that aligning is vital or I have to adjust with rudder which will make the hole approach ugly and dangerous.

That's easy. I drop my gear first (speed <= 160 mph) which pulls my nose down, then I drop flaps (speed <= 140 mph) it is then less severe. I don't force the nose anyhow and do the correction with constantly trimming. Trimming is imho the most important aspect apart from aligning and well judging height in getting a good landing.

Good tip.
Glad to read I'm not the only one tapping trim with frenecy!!
Almost full right rudder trim actually.

Trimming is why I'm looking at a throttle with trimwheels. Right now I've got up/down and left/right arrow keys for that.
