Top Flight bounce
I test flew a 86 in. Top Flight Corsair for a friend and it bounces real bad on landing. It balances per the plans with gear up. Just a touch of up elevator to flair at a foot off the ground starts the bouncing. Any thoughts. My Brian Taylor 82 inch F4-U never does this. It just won'tn stick.

Top Flight bounce
Could be incidence related. I don't think Top Flite uses proper 2 deg incidence. It looks to me like 0 on the plans. But otherwise, it's probably landing too fast. Hold that sucker off as long as possible and 3 point it.
