Not able to do this while landing.

You see in the above video, the Mig-21s touch down on the mains and roll out with the nose wheel in the air for quite some time.

 

Not able to do this in the LN MiG-21bis. What am I not doing to achieve whats in the video.

 

Thanks for any help, suggestions and pointers.

I did it few times so it can be done. Don't hit the runway too fast, and too hard. And, after touchdown, you need to pull the stick towards yourself. I think the main factor is vertical speed.

I've never been able to do it either (and I can land pretty smoothly): I either end up taking off again or not keeping the nose up. Seems like a very fine line.

I think the plane still needs some of its inertia. I don't think I can do it either and I messed up just one landing. Also I almost can't stall the plane.

 

I am sure that is still wip/beta and some parts still needs to come into place.

It's perfectly doable, see attached. With the skinny delta wing, you have to flare early and more than you think you need to, compared to other aeroplanes. Don't chop the power either.

I can do it every time now, just takes a bit of practice.

The main thing is land as smoothly as you can and pull the stick all the way back when you touch down.
