Just an update if anyone is reading this thread. I have been flying with the seat at full up, then back down 2.5 turns.

My landings the last several times flying have been consistently better. I can not say it is all contributed to the seat position, but I feel that the seat position has some level of positive impact on my landings.

My height - 5'11"
