Default RE: Low Speed Quirks

To do a conventional 2 point type landing at a speed that the elevator remains 'normal' , it rolls for several hundred feet of grass. Every roll in the dirt, clump of grass, etc send the plane back into the air. I could truly care less about trying to 3 point it, I am trying to wheel land it when the elevator goes funky. I am afraid to go forward with the CG anymore since it is already further forward than called for which puts it about 18%ish. I am going to try raising the ailerons just a hair in the landing configuration to help kill some lift and cause slighty great vertical speed versus horzontal speed.
