I was always instructed whether it was for an AA5 of laterly jet aircraft to just keeping flying it down the slope with the correct ROD and on speed, as the flare height approaches remove the power and pull back just enough to check the ROD, hold it and land - if you took the power off too early and started the flare too early push the nose down a little add power then repeat the above. In my case initially it was like playing chicken with myself as I always wanted to flare too high so I had to learn to delay the flare. I always found flapless landings the easiest when learning to fly as you just flew it onto the runway i.e nose was already up.
