Heck, I still get a bounce after 800 + hours. Actually I find it more
of a small skip than anything these days. If I get the main and tail
wheel down at the same time, it will skip a little if there is any
flying speed left. If I get the tail wheel down first, the I get one
of those greasers that lets get out of the airplane with a dopey grin
on my face.
Actually I used to find my Comanche a bit of a handful to squeak in.
After I was flying the Europa for a while and got a bit more bit more
disciplined about speed control I found I started landing the Comanche
much better.
