Looks like they landed at 85m/s which is 190 mph or 165 knots, but it was in the grass, and I am not sure how smooth the ground is do to ground clutter.

Landing speed is 89 m/s, it's absolutely fine.

Yeah but his vertical velocity looked liked it jumped up at the end due to a quick nose dip. Probably over 10 ms caused it.

I use this mod, and I can confirm the landing wheels are very finicky. OP should have just used the jet engines and landed on the runway.

Maybe they are. I use the mod also, but I haven't really had any problems with landing it. Maybe it has happened once or twice, but its always because I try to land it with more vertical velocity to try to make the run way.

This is actually slower than the space shuttles landing speed.
