I try to keep it between 60 and 70..usually 70 until I'm sure of getting in .. and then slow her up until the nose is up and then with full back trim control r.o.d (seat of pants) with power and don't let her touch down until she has no energy left. Took me ages to fly for feel rather than nailing speeds - chopping power - floating for meters then touching down wherever - I still cross check asi but look more for a nose attitude now. Still heaps of improvement for me though!! Still bounce em!!
