John,
Monowheel technique.
65kts on final. 55kt over the fence/threshold, a two stage flare due to the f
ast wing, first to arrest the descent, pause, then second, flare slowly, bri
nging the stick back to contact main wheel, then bring the stick back fully a
nd brake, keep straight with rudder anticipating turns from side to side.
SHORT landing, aim for a point, speed 45kts over the threshold, place aircra
ft on the ground at the first flare and hold stick fully back, brake.
20ft too high, closer to the ground to arrest descent, power not usually nec
essary in flare unless a big bounce occurs then yes it is good.
Works well.
Cheers,
Tim
