too fast on landing.... on the first bounce he should have added power, but eventually he did and saved it. a learning moment for him. he will do better next time. never push the nose down upon landing, it's always a gentle pulling aft. always aft....

I saw that earlier today. Wow, looked like maybe too fast? The gear was stronger than I expected. It didnt look like he was able to climb out very easily. Maybe left carb heat on or mixture too rich or lean? It would be interesting to be able to question the guy.
