Any advice from experienced S1s pilots requested. I have recently bought an S1s (sym - 4 aileron wings - fixed pitched prop). I seem to be floating after the flare a bit longer than I am comfortable with on my home base 700m grass strip. I have been approaching at around 90mph. What do you all feel is the best approach speed for this wing?Thanks in advanceSteve
