Default Landing technique(trainer)

Thanks for the input.I simply need to practice,but yesterday I had 2 perfect landings in a row.I stiffened up the landing gear with a crossbrace which helped some,and I am trying to flair it so it will touch down on the 2 rear wheels first.I discovered that if the nose wheel even slightly touches first,the nose will pop up increasing the angle of attack and causing the bouncing to start.I still bring it in with the throttle at idle and flair it out just before touch down.But I will practice your ideas when I get time,and try finding the point where it mushes out without stalling.
