The aircraft was entered into a holding pattern when the pilot noted the rudder control seemed heavy. He set 30 degrees of flap for landing and began to move the control column back to flare at about 65 knots. The aircraft did not respond and the nose dropped, causing the aircraft to touch down on the runway nose wheel first and bounce several times.
