What are you flying wx?
I tend to fly tommies more than anything else and my instructor taught me to land long, slow and low, controlling the descent with power, I don't fancy the idea of a steep approach for the short field landing, you'd be too fast in the flare, if you were to do that in something like a Warrior you'd never get the flipping thing on the ground.
As an aside in warriors I find the easiest way to land them is short field/powered approach, you don't gilde half as much. Anybody else do the same?
