Beautiful plane. Just need to work on those landings some more. Speaking as a fullsize glider pilot, I'd suggest getting used to flying the approach and flare out with spoilers deployed as this will reduce the tendency of the plane to speed up when you lower the nose. A stable speed and rate of descent on the approach is the key. Be prepared to put spoilers away if the plane seems to be heading for an undershoot then ease them open again once glidepath corrected.

Maybe I'm wrong but I didn't see any use of spoilers in those last two landings.
