I had a similar landing incident when the very experienced ag pilot in
the front seat "stuck" the aircraft with positive forward stick on
touchdown and put sand marks about 6" up the prop blade and bent the
blades. We didn't follow up with any take off though. He was using his
usual technique of forward stick with the Stearman he had been using
for spraying and this time it didn't work on the Champion Scout we were
flying. I was showing him the aircraft and it was his first flight in
it. There is more to the story and in retrospect it's humorous but
nontheless serious.
