Good comments, yourself, Harry.
I’ll take mild exception to this

I would revise it to say:
For an ideal landing in a Coupe, you must keep the nose
wheel off the ground until the Coupe
itself swivels straight
down the runway, THEN LOWER THE NOSE, AND
LOSE
LIFT......RESULTING IN LITTLE IF ANY SIDE
STRESSES
ON THE NOSE GEAR AND ENGINE MOUNT ( NOSE
GEAR IS ATTACHED TO ENGINE MOUNT).
We all know of gobs of successful Coupe
landings in which the nose gear DID touch before the aircraft turned to line up
with the direction of travel.
A minor quibble. Harry’s right
about his described landing being the right way to do things, if you can.
