Oh, you want landing numbers. I fly the downwind at 100mph - 1/3 flaps, base at 90mph - 2/3 flaps, and final at 80mph full flaps, with the Horton STOL kit. It works so well. But I caution you not to slow below 80mph until in ground effect.

Also, I usually slow below 90 mph to drop the gear -- to reduce stress on the clam doors -- beleive me, most have cracks.
