I wonder if the basic requirement to avoid the S's all over the runway
is to never let the airplane land until the stick is on the back stop?
I flew Europa monos for 5 years until one day, in another Europa I had
never landed before I S'd all over. It happened twice in that airplane.
Checking tailplane deflections after the first event showed not enough
up elevator so no downforce.
