109s are suffering prop strikes upon landing unless u grease them in 3 pointer.  I wheel land.  I get prop strikes every time.

Land less hot with all flaps down. When you are over the runway at flare out use a bit of throttle to keep the nose up and make it possible to land with a slight stick back. You won't prop strike.

Personally this seems more of a aircraft design feature which requires flying the 109 all the way onto the ground. I did a prop strike only once with a 109 in AH2 and since then make the effort to fly the plane to a landing.

This is like the old joke that voters are harsher to their beer brewer if he has an outage, than their politicians after raising their taxes. Death and taxes are certain but, fun and sex is only now.

No Prop strikes here,,,,come over the fence at 125 with notch of flaps and work throttle......watch the torque on rollout.
