Hi OzMo
Yes, I use the throttle threw-out the landing approach. Also the elevator. Opposite to what a novice might think, up elevator at low throttle is used to lose altitude and thus shorten the touchdown.

Yep and as said before PRACTICE. It is amazing how every plane is a bit different in how it handles at low speeds, even in two of the same make. Washout on trianers helps here.
