Now its been a while since teaching on Warriors though from memory it went like this:

Turning base - PWR 1500-1700RPM, Carb Ht, 1st Stage flap; resulting in 80kts.
Turn Final - expected altitude given spacing 500'AGL
Mid Final - Second Stage Flap; Should have no need to touch power, speed should drop to 75kts.
Mid - Late Final - Full Flap, again shouldn't need to change PWR - airspeed reduces to 70kts.
Approaching Threshold - PWR reduces to idle slowly throughout flare to achieve idle at/just prior to, touchdown with Vref (Threshold speed) at 63-65kts.

Given conditions stable have a try to perfect but you'll find it works a charm.

Mind you this is from memory.

Good Luck
