Jim,

I think the bounce was the result of a short and "springy" gear.  Because the Corby sets relatively low to the ground it is my judgement that it likes to float in ground effect.  It seemed to float and float until the wing finally stalled at which point it would drop a tip and the bouncing would start due to the spring in the main gear.  If I were ever to scratch build a Corby there are two things I would do to make it fly and land better.  I would increase the tail moment just a bit and I would add some flaps.  Still, the Corby was a great looking and flying airplane and I enjoyed it very much.  I think you will like it too.

Regards,
