Interesting Ed, 3000 is the RPM I use on base and final also, 500 fpm
descent at 80 knots.

For the new guys Perry is direct drive so it is difficult to make
direct comparisons.

80 kts on final, what is your touch-down speed, Perry? Stall speed?. Yvon
Cournoyer.

Yvon:  Canard plane with no flaps.  Canard stall is 55 knots.  If I want to
minimize my landing distance I do final at 75 knots instead of 80.  Bleed off
airspeed in the flare just before touchdown, I've glanced at the ASI as
touching
down a few times, usually around 65 knots.  Sometimes I'm able to hold the
nose off until the canard loses lift.
