Hi! Jeff.
Yes, firstly read the Pilots Handbook and really digest it.
Be sure to get your speed controlled and the aircraft trimmed as
recommended for full flaps and correct before you turn on BASE.
Use the control stick as if it were a one way ratchet, don't relax the
control stick pressure what so ever and at the end of the flare try to
fly about 12" above the runway with your elbow rammed tight to the
cockpit side looking ahead (not sideways)to get the attitude of the
aircraft into your head.
In the event of a small bounce snatch the stick right back.
In the event of a large bounce "open the taps" full and go round off the
top of the bounce not forgetting to retract the flaps on climb out.(You
will not correct a big bounce unless the runway is about a mile long !)
Don't try a dead stick landing until you have grasped landings with
coordinated use of engine throttle.

PS. Now listen to all the long hour guys telling you how!

I wonder if any of you Tri-gear flyers would be so kind as to comment on
any "characteristics" you've noticed on the takeoff/landing of your
aircraft. Anything in particular one should be on the lookout for?.
Details, please. Thanks in advance...
