Alright Pitts drivers need a little info. I'm getting checked out in a S2B and it seems to me we have been coming ina little fast. Keep in mind its at a busy airport but, I think we should be slowing through 100 over the numbers. We went out and did a few stalls and it falls out of the air at 75, so why 100 over the numbers. I realize if you close the throttle it fall out of the air. The high wing loading?

A few landingI have gotten the plane in perfect position, 3 point waiting for the speed to bleed off and settle in for the perfect greaser and then balloooon. damn. It almost seems like you have to release a little back pressure and let it settle in.
FYI, I amflying back seat.
experiences at 95 cross the numners, assuming you dont flare high?
