The tail height was fine on the coupe I had. The struts had been rebuilt less than 2 years before and the plane stood up tall like it's supposed to. I am not sure what caused it. I would say it was a combination of overall bad luck, hitting the bump at just the right speed, lack of elevator control that plagues coupes, and desperate attempts to get it back under control which may have done more harm than good. Also it was very cold and I have noticed in the past that on those very cold, high pressure days, the ground effect was so severe with my lightweight Recoup that it would try to skip like a stone. Or maybe the strut fluid gets thick, I mean I don't know what caused it but I had gone over that plane trying to figure out why it would usually be fine and yet on occasion act hard to control. All I ever did was touch and goes, I left the pattern only a few times. I did hundreds of landings and 3 or 4 times it acted strange like that. Like it was just rearing up and wouldn't stay down on the ground.
