E-flite Maule M-7 is a beast! (UPDATE on tipping over on landing in description)

I love this thing but I was having a problem with it the last four flights were coming into land it would topple over the last a few miles per hour I figured it out and the subsequent flights

UPDATE: OK so the maule m7 tipping over on landing issue I feel is definitely related to the new receiver that they have in the V2’s now …..( the AR631) Initially I thought it was because of the grass being a little higher or something with my flap / elevator settings… But then I thought no way because I actually have the first version with the AR 636 ( the older v1 receiver) and I have never had that issue!! So I decided To wipe the dust off of the V1 brought it out and flew about 7 packs through the v1, In the same grass as my v2 and I did not have one tip over! Just to confirm this I went out the next day and then did the same thing, flew about 5 packs through the first version. Again not one tip over! In the same flying spot, same day, I took out the V2 abs also flew about 5 packs through her, and every time I landed there was a tip over! So it’s definitely not related to the grass or any kind of flap / elevator setting like I initially thought….. I even saw Brian Phillips review video of the V2, he also did a review video of the V1 and didn’t have this issue. But on the V2 video he was tipping over almost every landing just like me. So I think it’s definitely related to the new receiver, I don’t know why it would do this upon landing? maybe something to do with the elevator and flaps while holding down elevator and the plane being on the ground rolling along inducing some kind of error in the receiver? who knows. I think just for shits and giggles and to actually put this to rest I will take the receiver out of the V2 and put in the V1 receiver just to make sure 100% that it is not the air frame in anyway, and strictly a receiver issue. But I am confident now in saying that I am about 80% sure it is related to the receiver in some way!!!
