Default RE: Having trouble with my first tail dragger

Here's a tip--keep a couple clicks of throttle until you are within a foot off the runway. Then, without moving your elevator (assuming a nice, even descent already), just chop the throttle to idle--it'll grease down on the mains and shouldn't bounce! Remember, don't force the tail down with the elevator, it will ground loop on you, and stall, and you'll have some repair work to do!
