power in the flare
I do the same as SMO: keep alittle power in the flare.
Without it, the c/s prop makes the -7 drop out of the sky when power is reduced to idle.
Then, when the wheels touch (aiming for all three at the same time), I retard to idle and pull the stick full aft.
I operate of out short fields (4-500 meters) quite often, so I land everytime as I was landing on a short field.
That means 65 KIAS on final, and 55 KIAS approaching the flare.
(middle weight + no wind)
That will give me touchdown a few knots above stall so I then avoid dropping onto the ground in a stalled attitude.
That way, the mains and the TW hits at the same time, avoiding the "hop"
In crosswind, it's ofcourse a different story because of crab and the added speed.
When the last main has touched, I then "fly" the TW to the ground (if it's still in the air) because the plane still have some excess speed.
If I instead pull the stick back suddenly, then I get airborne again.... not good....
BTW; rolling out on final, I first set the nose in the correct attitude, then control the speed with pitch and glidepath (aiming for 3 degrees) with throttle.
Works great for me.
This is the way I do it to avoid landing TW first and I'm sure other will chime in because there's alot of experience out there.
I'm standing by for other techniques....
