Default RE: best method to land 90 size pattern plan

With a 5 knot head wind, I can land at a HIGH Idle. The spoilers are very effective.
The plane is very stable with the spoilers deployed. Also has helped in dead sticks on a fast approach.
You can put in as much or as little that you may desire. On final approach if I see the plane climbing, I know it’s too fast.
VERY little if any up elevator needed until the landing flare. Start off with maybe 3-5 degrees of up aileron and then increase as needed,
