Default RE: Slowing pattern plane

Talked with a buddy today about his Tracer. He also mentioned the nasty tip stalls on his. I have a pattern plane that likes to land hot too. Here is what I do- bring it around on final but stay high. Back off of the throttle and keep the nose up until it wants to settle into a nice, but sort of steep approach. Let it descend in that groove until time to flare gently. See if it works for you but be careful of the tip stall speed range.
