At your stage of experience, one thing that I would recommend is having some extra lessons with an instructor based on handling at low speeds and in various configurations.

I'm not trying to put you off spin training, but I was lucky enough to receive a couple of hours training on slow speed handling and it is was very valuable.

I remember flying a Warrior at 45KIAS (must have been some position error I reckon), with full flaps and being able to control it easily despite the ridiculous pitch angle and the stall warning going beserk.

Although we all learn slow speed handling early in the PPL, looking again post PPL is good, as you will "feel" much more now that before.

I started flying out of grass strips some time afterwards and knowing that I could fly accurately at VS1.3 on short final was a big help - directly due to the training I had.
