    A reminder, since apparently some didn't get the message first time around.

    Still no V2 wings at Motion, it's been nearly 7 months now.
    Seems like sloppy design work.

    Also poor customer service to wait so long for wings.

    Things seem to have gone downhill since Alpha was there.

    • If Motion can’t get FreeWing to make them…

        • Jandro , those landings are extremely good. I will try and copy your style. What sort of throttle percentage have you got on just prior to the flare?

          • Thanks!

            At least the first ones I highlighted at the beginning of the video were... there were a few others that were 'less than stellar', but I'm still adjusting and getting used to the cat, so I'll take it!

            I don't think I'm coming with the same level of throttle on each approach. At the angles I'm coming, the jet can easily transition to reverse regime, and at that point, a small change in AoA requires totally different throttle settings...

            But, for the approach, let's say, before I get into muddy waters, it was probably something like 15-25%?

            I don't consciously think about it but will try to remember next time I bring it out for a spin! :)

            • I'm also landing with full span flaps, which add more drag and require more throttle.
