Default RE: landing bounce

Not arguing that.   The first couple landings on my 4*  were no different than I land it now, no elevator when the wheels kiss. It bounced the moment the wheels touched, but now that I have the nose weights glued on so they dont fall off sitting in the truck, landings are fine, settles in nicely, wheels touch and the plane rolls out on the mains then drops the tail. The Kadet does the same thing on landing, settles on the mains and rolls out till the tail drops.   The 2 ounces that fell off didn't affect flight that I could tell since I flew it for such a short time.  I still have some trim to do, it tends to yaw left on vertical, so I added some right thrust to the engine, and have yet to test fly it.  Overall the plane always handled well in the sky.

Now if I can just keep it out of the corn on landings......
