I suppose for me the biggest lesson to learn was when to introduce a control input and when to just leave the bloody thing alone!

Upon landing, I tend to bounce if I've have had a lay off of >2 weeks or a particularly hard sortie.... most of the time I don't go around but arrest the second descent with a dab of power.

I tend to close the throttle and leave it closed from abeam the numbers on downwind until I need power to influence any taxying.

I don't wheel the Pitts on but do the Cub and did the DC3...
