How does it fly Bert? I see there was a Landing so there must have been a successful takeoff

Looks like it might of "ran out of elevator" just at the end of the landing sequence.. that wind sounded "challenging"

On full size AC the trailing link landing gear is generally known for bing a "soft" gear but I don't think its use on a nose gear is very wide spread and probably or some of the reasons you are seeing. Nose strut length is very critical (for setting ground attitude) but it becomes less critical if a plane has more effective of elevator control. You rarely hear a Twin Otter pilot snag or complain about a nose gear strut as the pitch control is very powerful. Some other planes on the other hand are touchy and Incorrect strut height causes a variety of take off "weirdness". While I agree that the strut is causing issues it might be an issue of elevator effectiveness adding to the issue.
