I've got an original 19lb Jet Central Rabbit in mine. Normal landing is turn upwind and drop the gear after the turn. If all three are down, I turn cross wind at about half runway, and pull the first notch of flap as soon as I'm straight on the down wind. I cut to idle then turn base, then final descending in the turns. Once on final I increase to 1/3 throttle and drop second notch of flaps. Once I know I've made the runway I pull the power back to idle and let the plane settle in.
