The major difference between the two is that a degree of power is used throughout the level-off and touchdown for the soft-field landing so as to control the descent rate all the way to touch down. This allows the airspeed to slowly dissipate while the airplane is flown just above the surface in ground effect.

To fight this overbanking tendency, add light aileron pressure in the opposite direction. Climbs and Descents During Slow Flight It’s counterintuitive, but pitching up will not result in a climb during slow flight. You’ll have to manage adverse yaw due to the ailerons and left yawing from the high power setting.

The wing’s dead-smooth surface plus the tight-fitting aileron and flap brackets plus aileron gap seals give the build a professional factory look (left). One thing I did find was in a quick reversal from a steep bank right to a steep bank left I was able to stall the ailerons—it felt like a detent in the middle of the aileron travel.
