beginners RC flying What prob lem couldnt keep airplane bounc ing unless performed perfect landing two things wrong landing gear setup either would have caused bouncy landings First airplane sat nose-high landing gear type setup guarantees difficulty landings because wing positive angle attack lift will generated long airplane moving means airplane will attempt take off again its landed hot higher angle airplane sits slower speed will try take off again best way eliminate problem set up airplane fuselage sits parallel runway slightly nose-down nose slightly down lift killed airplane rotates onto nose gear model tends stick runway However excessive nose-down attitude will cause airplane impossible take off smoothly since will difficult rotate nose up until model moving very fast airplane looks like hound scent landings may easy takeoffs will very abrupt second problem flier angled main gear struts back because liked look way Unfortunately gear struts angled hack airplane
