Nice strategy - line up, slow and land

http://diydrones.com/profiles/blogs/landing-patterns-and-reverse

The writer is trying to solve the problem of "coming in too hot".  Typicall if you try to land an RC plane, the speed increases as you pitch down resulting in an overshoot of your intended landing spot.

Various solutions are proposed including prop reversal, variable pitch and flaperons.

This guy uses a car ESC that allows thrust reversal.
