It was a 172R but just upgraded to a 172SP. Its better for STOL as you really notice the extra 20hp on take off.
Re my previous post, maybe I over estimated a bit when I said I would hold it on the ground for an extra 10kts, its more like five.
I cant but agree about nailing the approach speed. A flying buddy of mine recently left very big skid marks on a very small runway! Was too high and too fast but committed anyway...bloody stupid of him but at least he walked away with no damage done.
