Default Does the Hot Spot bounce like a Kangaroo?

Does the Hot Spot have the same bouncing problem of a Kangaroo?
How far behind the CG are the mains?
On the roo, the forward flange of the mains is the cg, so the wheels are less than an inch behind the cg.
I think this is part of the reason for the bounce problem.
I have tried slow landings, soft springs, lowered the AOA on the ground, you name it, I've tried it.
Still, when you least expect it, bam, it's bouncing like a ball again.
I'm thinking of switching to a Hot Spot if it would be an improvement.

I welcome any and all suggestions.
