Default RE: Tri-cycle or Tail Dragger?

Tail draggers from my experience don't bounce any more than trike gears. I used to bounce my LT40 trike trainer until I learned to add in a little up elevator just before it touches down and hold it until the speed on the runway has bled off. I found this also works well with td planes on landing. The only trick is to know when to start pulling back on the right stick and how much. Each plane is a bit different and it just takes some landings to find out what works for the plane that you are flying.
