A firm landing (or a bounce) is better than running off the end but it is
better yet to manage power and energy to land smoothly at minimium speed
both forward and vertical. This is easier said than done however!

"Go flying at 7" (either "7")
"Tie down by 10"

Just a comment on really short landings. I have a Husky and it lands
about as short as anything. Short landings tend to be rough. This is
because your forward speed is low compared to your vertical speed.
Also, a vertical bounce uses up energy. So don't be afraid to "bounce
it in". If you look at the videos of the short landing contests in
Alaska, those guys just plop on, hard, and usually bounce.

The Idaho strips are very challenging. The key in Idaho is don't fly in
the afternoon. Mornings and after 6 pm are much better. For charted
strips, Idaho actually has more challenging stuff than Alaska.

My Husky is for sale, btw. Contact me at
