Default RE: Avistar questions

Minnflyers right about most bounce in landings being caused by not-so-great landings. There is a phenomena, however, known as the " Avistar bounce ". Leads one to believe that the plane is somehow a bit more susceptible to bouncing unless you hit the landing perfect. One thing I did with mine that helped my landings was to put a nose wheel on the front gear that was a little smaller than the mains. That will impact prop ground clearance, but slants the wing downward just slightly. Helps hold the plane on the ground on landing, at least for me.
