    I was helping a customer transition into a FX2 on Amphibs showing him there no reason to trim the plane as long as your speed and power was correct, it’s basically hands off all the way to the ground. He asked me to do 3 normal approaches to water and on land. He documented them and put them on a card for his plane. He thought I should share it. He is incorrect the stick is not all the way back on land.

    Isn't the FX-2 fixed pitch prop? If so, why do the charts appear to shows settings for MP and RPM?
