Landing Techinque

[larryM]

I am a fairly experienced tail wheel pilot, learning in a Tiger Moth, Pitts, Avid Flyer, Cub, and Skybolt primarily. Recently, I got checked out in a Chipmunk. The instructor; Stearman, Chipmunk background commented that I had a lazy stick on landing (3 points); in that I would set the attitude and let it land, without holding it off while it settled, with the stick all the way back. I can offer all sorts of reasons why, but I would like to know how most land the Skybolt, Pitts, etc in the 3 point. I can give my reason on how I developed my techinque, but am more interested in hearing yours.

Thanks,
larry
