RE: Landing Speed
jmps,
When landing into a strong wind you can do two things have a steeper shorter final approach this will allow more airspeed without idling up or you can increase throtle and stay with a flatter approach the problem is in judging airspeed to prevent a stall as you already found out. The only answer I have for you is practice provides an instintive feel for what is too little or too much throtle during landings
