A dance craze from 1952
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bunny_hop_%28dance%29
In aircraft the same (I think) as a crow hop – taking off, flying a very short distance (just a hop) and then landing again.

Major difference between the "crow hop" and the "bunny" variety is that the crow lands on his FEET.

No shortage of smart asses here.
I have done a bunch of those...most of them weren't intentional.

>Does adding power like in a Cessna 172 (porpoise) help
Sure does Randall, as you obviously already know... the power is a flight control just like the other three, and will avoid the high sink crunch as previously described, or if not applied before it happens, will avoid the nosewheel crunch that follows. It's called flying the thing...or, if not applied... just being along for the ride!!!
Good weekend to all

Seriously though
The “hop” may be something that is used in flight training or testing is it not? Rather than the unintentional “botched landing”

Well I guess I have an opinion? An ultralight guy in our club likes to crow hop something he has never flown or has never flown. Its pretty difficult for him to have a type experienced pilot with him in a single place and he won't find someone to fly it first. He builds confidence in himself and in the plane.
My opinion is that if you don't have confidence in the plane, the rigging or how it was built, it shouldn't be flown. If you don't have confidence in your abilities you shouldn't fly. To me the stakes are too high, it's either right and you know it's right or you don't and its not. Either you have or had experience in type or you don't.
Being a new pilot with a new plane I will endeavor to get experience in a 701 (not mine) and be certain everything is as it is supposed to be before anyone flies it. I don't think crow, bunny, porpoising or sock hopping is training or testing. But hey, I am somewhat new and don't know anything anyway.

701 plans, corvair etc, getting ready for my x-country and check ride, did one go around yesterday, nasty, gusty cross wind, and rain, didn't want to botch up a $130k airplane, throttle and altitude were my friends.
