Full scale trike pilots seem to forget that the mains have to be on the ground before the nose.
I trained on a Cessna-150, and my instructor would smack me if I let the nose wheel smack the runway. I don't know about other trike gear pilots, but I was taught to do a full stall landing. I teach it when instructing R/C.
Same here. In fact my instructor would smack me if I didn't hold full back stick after the nose wheel touched down just to keep as much weight off the nose gear as posible for as long as posible... he owned the plane too so I'm sure that had something to do with it.
