Welcome to the Club, Ryan! Yeah, just work that nose a little higher (near resting 3 point attitude) and she'll bounce way less. If the tailwheel contacts first, you'll never bounce:)

Yea in reviewing the footage, I was 65kts (75MPH) over the numbers and initially touched down at 50kts (58 MPH) so she definitely wanted to keep flying. Plenty of room to improve!

Well done! Awesome video! I'm unspeakably jealous (and will be immediately preceding to the workshop)
