Every single time I do that it then tumbles and crashes, if I leave the elevator alone after landing and just use the brakes then it is fine.
That mode where you have to capture the airbases is going to be impossible for the flightstick crew in sim mode, you will either crash or roll off the end of the runway because you can't brake.

I ran three hours of tests on the demo last night.
To land successfully:
Aproach the field, etc., etc. (throttle to 30%)
upon touchdown REDUCE throttle to 20%
slow the aircraft to around 150 and pull back on the yoke (stick) and adjust trim.
Continue to keep back preassure on the yoke while slowing to 57 (throttle to zero)
at exactly 57 give a short burst of engine power by increasing the throttle to around 25-30% and immediately reset to zero. The idea here is to give just enough throttle to keep the aircraft from flipping WITHOUT GAINING SPEED. Your speed should slowly decrease throughout this entire step.
Roll out untill your speed reaches zero.
Works every time
Now I know some of this sounds like a bit much. Some of it doesn't make sense in terms of real worl physics, but this is what works.....
