Thanks for the link DaveReidUk. I've flown the type for several years also and too was extremely surprised to learn that tail strikes were more common on landing than take off. I'm assuming that is because the vast majority of tail strikes are actually classified as tail scrapes when only the tail skid assembly is damaged.
