Vic,

As you know I have the same set-up as you do.

I can get the idle down to 1500 RPM on my OS although I do have an onboard glow driver. I also keep a little more power on till touch down on landings. I would say I'm probably landing right around 1900-2000 RPM. I like to grease not bounce! LOL!
I would say for the most part I come in with 25-30 degrees flaps. If there's no wind I bring her in with full 45 degree flaps with about 7% down trim mixed in on the elevator and she settles right in.
