Thanks for that reply. So you think a three point is the slowest landing? I'd say that you have excessive speed if your elevator can keep your nose up. If a guy is really on his game his touchdown happens at the moment the tail gives up, and in that scenario the tail doesn't stay down so 3 point isn't available. Actually, in Cubs anyway, the best pilots I know gauge their final approach speed by elevator effectiveness. If they can raise the nose they're going too fast.
The counterpoint to that is if you have aft CG, and then the tail drops out before the wing stalls, and then you're just along for the ride.
VGs and other lift accessories promote flatter attitudes at slower speeds. I'm a fan.
