Thank you Frank.
I would like to perhaps continue this theme and agree fully with the aerodynamic
point of view.
Those of you who are flying and still a little frustrated by the tendancy to
bounce may like to try using the aerodynamic advantage of the prop wash to slow
the decent to the runway. Push in about 2 - 3 inches of throttle movement when
in
the flare will allow you to get the two point attitude without a bouncing rate
of
decent.
It is possible to get a rubber smelling greaser!!
Have a good weekend all.
Barry
