Thanks Ian!

Some have asked how I got the model to pitch down with such authority during the approach. I simply cranked in nearly full down trim and held back pressure to keep it level as well as having the flaps, gear and throttles configured. At the point of the pitch-over, I released the yoke and pushed it forward, retarded the throttles to idle and then settled the angle with yoke input and re-trimming as needed coming down and then leveling off. With the speed gain that was picked up in the dive, I had to ride out in ground effect until it settled. It took a bit of practice to figure out the parameters and "moving sweet spot" in the handling & speeds (so I didn't fly off the other end of the runway) but overall, it's very manageable.
