First of all: thanks for all the replies!
I find it incredibly interesting to ponder about these subjects, so more info is
better :-)
I also like the Ls-6 story!

My tendency with the B4 is to approach with too much velocity, often 100 km/h.
This gives me the feeling I have proper aileron control, so it's intentional.
When I approach the deck and slowly start to bring the nose up, I encounter the
ground effect that the B4 has. I either float for a long time before touching down
with a two-point landing, or I make a touchdown on the main wheel only (sometimes
with a slight jump after that).
What happened yesterday, was that I was so busy compensating for crosswind (I
don't want to have a traversed landing), that started floating again and gained
some altitude (1 meter roughly).
Knowing that the fault is probably in the velocity, I approached the instructor to
learn from his B4 experience.
I agree that the B4 is very friendly and benign. I will put effort in bringing my
approach speed down to 90 in the upcoming flights.

I would guess that you probably are not using a lot of spoiler in the round out/ flare which extends the time and distance needed to shed enough energy to land. If this sounds right, try more spoiler on final and leave them out using elevator to round out. Start the round out a bit higher to allow for steeper approach.
Good Luck
