I have been flying this plane for four years now and the more the CG is aft, the more the plane tends to bounce on landing. The reason I think for this is that with an aft CG, you can not do real good 3 point landings because it will snap before touching down. The bounces are really soft but just don't look good.

Reversing the landing gear appears to me like a good idea but as Da king sais, maybe you will have some nose-over problems and maybe not. Be sure to check for the toe-in in your landing gear because it is bent in the aluminum and you will have toe-out, which is not good. Maybe it was the real problem of your Cap Da king ??
