Bill,
 
Your post does not indicate whether the speeds are solo or = with a=20 copilot.  Actually, Bryans post doesn't specify it either.  = The speeds=20 look like they may be when solo.  It makes a difference in my = plane. =20
 
In terms of angle of attack on final, in my bird, I can = easily see the=20 runway in the flair when solo, but cannot see it with a copilot.  = When=20 landing with a copilot, during the flair, I am looking in front of the = wing root=20 for that sweet spot.  I also notice the difference in a = friends=20 360.
