Tri-gear landing behaviour question

Subject: Tri-gear landing behaviour question

Although  I'm planning on building a mono, I have a friend who is
getting ready for his tri-gear maiden flight (using an experienced
relatively local Europa flyer as the test pilot).  He had heard that the
Tri-gear has a 'bouncy nose wheel' when compared to other type of
aircraft.


I was wondering if this was true, and if so, what special techniques are
used when landing (besides holding it off as one would want to do
anyway).


Cheers and thanks,

Pete
