Rob, This data is very helpful to me, thanks. I see the same thing; especially pitch stability decreasing rapidly with slower indicated airspeed.
Question: If you cross the numbers @ 80, what distance passes from the numbers to your touchdown point?

I use 80 mph over the numbers, and then flare. I really am not exactly sure the exact landing speed, but it is probably closer to 70, then 60. This is how I was taught by Terry Chezik and it works well. If you run below that speed, the airplane get more unstable and is harder to control. It works well for me on my Trigear. ... Over 620 hours now. No crashes, replaced landing gear, or other damage to me or airplane. I don't think I'm going to change anything I'm doing now. Rob Schmitt
