Wheel landings

Shakes like a dog shaking off fleas.

That's not right. Have you checked the main gear alignment? Also, I think that's a lot faster than I would be setting down. Not sure what speed I land at as eyes are outside the cockpit at that point, but I'm usually closer to 60 on final.

I have the phone mounted to the skylight so the shaking is pronounced in the video. But it does make racket. Reminds me of out of balance tires on a car. Anyway, I'll slow it down some and see if that helps. I fly 60 for 3-pointers but quicker on wheelies.

I had a fair amount of shaking before I removed my extenders, then everything smoothed out considerably.

Trim nose down a little,
About 70 mph IAS over the fence,
Come in a little low according to the PAPI,
Once you plant the mains, start applying forward stick to keep the angle of attack steady, and
Only brake once the tail drops to the pavement.

Also, I only do the wheelies on pavement or hard-baked late August turf. And, remember that you have to keep your dancing feet moving on the rudder pedals the whole time.
