Seriously tho Dud, I think you screwed up
stall landings visa-vis AoA over the runway.
I pull back the yoke for a perfect flare, and
as the stall begins, my nose drops, then I
nudge back the yoke a bit more to settle
my little machine pretty much level and
stalled simultaneously....bingo!
At the moment before touch-down push the
yoke easy forward and I do a 3 point landing
at less than stall speed.

Dud, take your machine out to do some touch
and go's, and do 3 point landings at less than
stall. It's an awesome feeling. It's so smooth
you might not know you're on the pavement,
when you do it really well, no guff.

If you can do it once you'll know what I'm talking
about.

If we could do it once we'd be flying some cheap
simulator. You will NOT do a full stall landing placing all three
wheels of a trike on the runway at once, unless you managed to flare
at 20 feet and ran out of airspeed and dropped straight down onto the
pavement. tends to break airplanes. You cannot stall an airplane with
the relative wind at such a low angle as you claim. Period.
Besides, landing all three wheels at once is VERY poor
technique. It means a landing made at rather high speed, which is hard
on tires, brakes, and the rest of the airplane if you happen to run
out of runway. It'd also dangerous, since it poses the risk of
wheelbarrowing, meaning a complete loss of control.
So much baloney. Even a ten-hour student can spot this as
such.
