I was taught to land the glidr in the same attitude as it sits on the ground. I have always followed this practice, and have 300 landings

I find this attitude plain stupid.

Thanks Mike. Do you ever find that if using more than 1/2 air-brake you need to reduce it before the flare? The theory is that slightly tail first is best, so that you're definitely low-energy & the nose pitches down rather than the reverse .. but I land my Astir 2 point if I can!
