The man said the problem was that he had failed to keep the stick
back after touchdown. Does his recollection make sense?
Nope



Does actually. Little tailfraggers, and big ones, come to think of
it, bounce along of you dont get the stick back after three pointing.
the mains will thrust it back up into the air a bit and then the nose
comes back down again repeating the cycle.

Doesn't a three-point landing occur at stall speed?


Not always.


Isn't the plane
going too slowly to lift off again? Besides, if the tail is that low,
touching down won't increase the angle of attack, will it?

If the tail is that low, you have th estick all the way back.


You say the mains will thrust it back up into the air and the cycle
will repeat. In a three-point landing, it seems it would take springs
to make a plane rise. Aren't shock absorbers supposed to prevent
that?


Shock absorbers are for cars and they'r emade to dampen cycles such as
that.
