Hi guys,

When I first flew a 601HD with Kelly Meiste, I had a difficult time 

keeping the

nose gear off on touch down. At Kelly's insistence, I worked harder on 

holding the nose off

for a while until airspeed would let it down more easily. Before that it 

was sort of a ka-thump landing.

Since that time, with my Subaru engine and the belly radiator well back, 

I have no trouble

greasing the mains and doing a long roll out nose gear up.Without a 

focused effort to keep the nose gear up, it would still be

a Ka-thump.  I suspect the XL could be the same.
