almost everytime i land my evo or IV-P the angle of attack indicator comes alive and broadcasts "angle, angle, push"
i have both angle of attacks set at 3-5 knots above the buffett that precedes something else. Every time i land i stall my
airplane. Unless i am so fast and hot that my landings resemble an aircraft carrier with the usual too fast with too much
wear in the tires and too much stress in the nose gear.
The best landings are made when the lady comes up and tells me the above as I flare feeling for the runway, then i know that i am doing it right.
Unless you are doing carrier landings with a hook in the tail you are stalling the airplane, if not you are wasting brakes,
tires, stress in the airplane and lots of runway behind you. So in essence if you are afraid of stalls go ride a bike and forget
about airplanes. In the tail draggers the feeling is the same, when you touch down with the tail wheel first you know you are doing it right.  why?
because you have stalled the airplane and achieved the slowest possible speed.
