...and full flaps.
Made an approach to short runway over trees and forgot the previous established procedure to that runway - add a bit of power going into flare out of a steep 60 knot descent.
Wow, what a sinking feeling as there was insufficient energy to stop the descent, hit pretty hard on all three and bounced.
Power was on quick after that and flew out of there, went around and tried it like in the past and squeaked it on.
Live and learn, my old brain needs more flying....no damage to trusty RV 8...just my ego for letting it happen.
