Default RE: BVM UB with CROW?

The first two UB 's I saw fly at jet events broke there nose gears out due to the landing speed being just a little to fast, although they looked slow, resulting in the nose gear hitting the runway first then the uncontrolable bunny hop. I set my flaps at 40 degrees per the manual and found out why the two pilots I saw fly broke the nose gears. The airplane has to be so slow before the nose gear is above the mains its just uncomfortable. I set the flaps for 30 degrees then the ailerons to 1/2 inch crow and now the approach is nose high, throttle and speed control on final is much more managable and the airplane never touches the nose gear first even if its a little fast at touch down, plus it stay's stuck after the main touch. Over the numbers if you chop the throttle the airplane has a much better feel in the deceleration.
