Model Jet Juggernaut,
A long approach was needed! But actually, I had a little more trouble holding the wings level and headed in the right direction! The throttle input was actually constant so once I established the speed I needed, I left it alone. I think more of a headwind would have certainly changed the amount of roll out. It seems to be a fairly stable model if I keep power in on final. I did land a bit short on the second landing and because there is just a small patch of earth just before the pavement, the Sabre got a little air. More power and it was down safely. I will have the chance in the morning to face a headwind. Looks like a pressure front will move in about the time I hit the field. Things will change with a 10mph headwind or maybe a little crosswind, as is the case in Arkansas! I'll send a reply after I get back tomorrow.
