Default Kawa rough landing?

That's interesting and good to know Dan. I had guessed there might be some bad behaviour in landing trim from the comments in the pilot handbook for my 6b, but had not tested it.

Well, it's hardly "bad behavior". In landing configuration (gear down, landing flaps), my LS6-b has a bit of a g-break at the stall, but it's not violent or particularly bothersome, and you really have to ham-fist it to get any sort of departure. It's actually kind of fun to play with; it's the only way I can get any sort of incipient spin entry out of my '6. In normal thermalling config (5 or 10 flaps), stall is a non-event due to lack of elevator power. (my CG is around 30% forward of aft limit, I think).

2000hrs in my LS6-b without any spin issues.
