Default Full Stall Landing?

In my opinion the use of the term "Full Stall Landing" is a misnomer. At
least for me the term "Extreme Slow Flight Landing" would be better. I
don't put the wings into a full stall before touch down when I land as
slow as possible. I put the airplane on the edge of the stall and fly it
to the ground. I also use feel of the airplane more that airspeed.

This works for me. Maybe others attempt and get a full stall before
touchdown.

Any comments?

I generally prefer wheel landings over three pointers.


You don't do three pointers on the wheels? Tail skid?
