Default How do I slow down?

Hi All,

This is my second thread here. I have been doing some sim time using "Real Flight 6.5" to train for my Aprentice and my Nextar (both trainers). I have been getting better at my landing, however, how do I slow down enough to not run off the run way? The best I could do was start decending as far away as possible from the landing strip so that I have about 20mph of airspeed. Sometimes, it's enough to stop right before I run off the runway but more than often, it's not. Any tips? I try to dive the nose a bit to pull back and catch resistance under the fuselage but it sometimes creates a stall where I have to power my plane, which then increase too much speed to not stop in time before I go off the runway.
