HI all, how many would agree that a badly designed jet that porpoises on landing is caused by a scale tail ( too small, no 15% increase) or by the elevator getting blocked out.
Thanks in advance.

I can't speak to the areas you've mentioned, but on the two jets I've owned, that displayed that tendency, reducing the amount of landing flap cured the problem. Seems that getting rid of excess lift had a positive effect. Once it was down, it stayed down.
