Hi guys, I'm wondering if you fellow Acroduster pilots could give me some hints on landings.. At the moment I fly the approach at 80 mph, bleeding off the speed as I cross the threshold and straightening up from the sideslip. The problem I'm finding is that either I'm landing too fast and end up bouncing along the runway, or if I really hold it off to kill all the speed then the tailwheel hits first.

Anyone got any tips for me?

Many thanks,
