Hi unix4linux
The best way to slow down for a landing is to give it a little up elevator while at idle. If the plane then climbs it means you were going too fast; go to idle a little sooner. I use the engine/motor speed and the up elevator as needed during all of the landing.
That's what I have been doing. Seems like I have to get better at what's considered too soon or too late. Usually I go to idle too soon and land the plane a bit short of the runway. I guess I just need to practice some more. I have been spending about 1-2 hours a day since Saturday. Can't wait to get there though so that I can fly
