Narrative:
Attempting to execute x-wheel landing on calm wind day. I bounced once, and during the bounce, I pushed too far forward on the stick in an attempt to plant the main gear on the runway, resulting in a propeller strike on the runway. My mistake was trying to press the aircraft on the ground prematurely and bringing the tail up too far. Simply pilot error, cause of incident clear.
