Warriors and Archers both love the float!!
I find get a/c set up nice and early, reduce power to get white arc and take first stage flap and trim a/c just after mid down wind, aim to be at 75kts just prior to turning base (normally I use 1300 - 1500rpm for the base and finals).
Turn base take 2nd stage flap and airspeed 75kts, turn finals (not below 70kts) pick your landing spot and keep that in one place in the window, take final flap and reduce speed to 65kts, adjust power as necessary, short finals 60kts bringing it back to 55kts adjust gaze to end of runway crossing the fence and flare. Try to keep a little power on and trickle it back little by little aiming to have throttle closed at the same time the wheels touch down. Takes a little practice but it'll get there eventually.

But to be really sure check it out with your instructor and check the manual for accurate numbers.... do what he/it says.

good luck.
