Default RE: landing bounce

Thanks for the replies. This guy did say that his 4*40 had a tendency to "float". I watched him land several times and he touched down at about the last third of the runway each time. And sure enough, each time the plane bounced back up into the air. However, it looked to me that the landing speed was quite slow at the time of touchdown. If he changes the CG to make the plane at bit more nose heavy, could that solve the problem? I don't think the problem is simply too much speed at landing although I can see where too much speed can cause the plane to become airborne again. His landing speed is slower than some of the other planes and they are not bouncing back up in the air.
