Narrative:
The problem arose while I was practicing I power off short field landing. (Full flaps and full back trim) I flared early, which caused a bounce and with a slight crosswind the plane's directional rollout was at an angle heading towards some gliders that were tied down off to the side of the field. Because of the full flaps and full trim, I lost rudder control. I applied more brakes than normal to avoid hitting the glider and nosed over. To prevent the recurrence or to correct this situation, I would not use full back trim, and with a bounce in a crosswind situation I should have done a go around. Minimal apply less brakes from the onset.

Narrative: THE PROB AROSE WHILE I WAS PRACTICING I PWR OFF SHORT FIELD LNDG. (FULL FLAPS AND FULL BACK TRIM) I FLARED EARLY, WHICH CAUSED A BOUNCE AND WITH A SLIGHT XWIND THE PLANE'S DIRECTIONAL ROLLOUT WAS AT AN ANGLE HDG TOWARDS SOME GLIDERS THAT WERE TIED DOWN OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE FIELD. BECAUSE OF THE FULL FLAPS AND FULL TRIM, I LOST RUDDER CTL. I APPLIED MORE BRAKES THAN NORMAL TO AVOID HITTING THE GLIDER AND NOSED OVER. TO PREVENT THE RECURRENCE OR TO CORRECT THIS SIT, I WOULD NOT USE FULL BACK TRIM, AND WITH A BOUNCE IN A XWIND SIT I SHOULD HAVE DONE A GAR. MINIMAL APPLY LESS BRAKES FROM THE ONSET.
