I had a few problems today with Patty. As I approached the asphalt landing strip my Patty came down bounced up and came down hard enough to break the prop. So I changed the the prop and decided to fly off the grass runway. I made a perfect landing but caught some kind of animal hole and was going fast enough to flip the plane. Patty did a 180 and ended up square on her tail. Now my rudder is about a 1/4 inch shorter than the original. I checked the rudder and figured I would try and fly again. This landing was perfect and I decided it was still a great day. Now to fix the rudder for tomorrows adventures.
Do you think the carbon fiber landing gear will help stop the bouncing or do I have to go back to my trainer?
If I may, I found the best to stop bouncing is to stretch the landing and let it settle in at the last second, or wheel landing.
