Default RE: Update III (my son does first tail touch)

hi Eagle63_Flyer, what tips did your instructor give you on how to manipulate the throttle right before touchdown to make the landing more smooth?
My instructor taught us to give a small amount of throttle right before touchdown to smooth it out. This will stop the bouncing.
Use rudder on final .... rudder is your friend.
