When I'm solo and light weight, if I have most of the
  fuel in the saddle tank the elevator runs out of travel in the flare and the
  landing is not very delicate.
  These limitations really tell us that the planes are incredibly well
  designed and give us the absolute maximum performance and flexibility for
  their size.
  We, as pilots, have to do our part.

Mark,

 

I originally  placarded my airplane against solo operation by a pilot weighing less than 130 lbs -- With such a pilot, no baggage and a full header tank, the aircraft would be out of the forward CG envelope.  However, I keep adding weight to the front and have landed with light baggage, full header and my 200 pound carcass with no elevator control problem. 

 

Perhaps less than full flaps would help reduce the nose down pitch - making the elevator more effective?   Some pilots even land by levelling in ground effect and taking out the flaps completely in order to nicely settle on the runway.  Too much work for me - I usually land full flaps, nose blocking the view of the runway ahead and the AOA urging "Angle, Angle Push!" just before the wheels squeek on.

 

I love my Lawn Dart and it treats me well as long as I "do my part" by paying attention until the hangar door is closed..........
