None of my planes fly the same, so there is a bit of difference from one to the next. At the beginning of the decent on the down wind leg, I come back to a throttle setting that gives a decent rate that looks right and feed in up elevator to start slowing the airplane down. More up elevator is given through-out the whole way down the glide path. I use coordinated turns onto base and final, rolling into and out of the turns with aileron and coordinating the turn and countering adverse yaw with rudder. More elevator is needed in the turns and given then backed off of when the plane is leveled again. I use throttle to control the decent rate. I can't give a you definative amount of stick travel used on the decent as it is what ever it takes to do what needs to get done.

Many times the turn from downwind to final is one big turn with no defined base leg.

I don't use the trim to hold back pressure as like many have said, then I would need to go back to neutral before the next take off.
