FNG - can't disagree with your comments. But 122.45 specifically said that his landing was good, it was the rollout after the landing, once the speed had decreased to around 20kts, which was causing problems. That's why I concentrated on the actions after landing (predominantly the aileron, since that's the one which I suspect most of us, me included, completely ignored until we'd been bitten once or twice!) in my reply.

Stik has emphasises the reasons why this phase of flight is so likely to cause problems. I'd never thought of it quite in quite such simple terms as he's described it, but he has far more experience in all kinds of tail-draggers than I do so I'll definitely listen to him!
