The boys at Nefi put me onto the 'control descent with throttle' concept and it has really helped. Pull throttle back to about idle (approximately 1/3 throttle, not zero throttle). Get the descent happening, level the wings when about two feet off the runway and give it a slight amount of nose up elevator to flare and she'll settle on her mains. Mike told me, and he was right, that once you've got it, its there, like riding a bike.
Since then, my landings have steadily improved to the point where what I used to call good landings are just okay landings.
There is a sweet feeling when she comes down and settles on her mains and rolls out!! I'm not a golfer but I'm pretty sure its like when you hit that ball just right.
