I do kind of the same thing, by flying in Atti mode and doing some skilled flying rather than having the GPS taking on the flying duties.
I try to do glide in landing ( I have a sailplane background ) so from a distance Of say 500 feet out and 300 feet of altitude I drop the power stick all the way down and try to do a spot landing , moving to the left or right or doing large or small circles to bleed off airspeed and altitude to l make a spot landing on a predetermined spot, the is accomplished with adding NO POWER. This becomes challenging and exciting . ( More fun when you add a bit of wind, it is a huge factor )
Also I enjoy making smooth coordinated turns and landing at a distance of say 100 to 500 feet away so I can be ready for an emergency landing , these practices make us better pilots.
We are on the same Page, flightime 1, guess
