i would fly it at a speed that keeps the separation constant, at shoreham, a typical training airfield, most aircraft are quite happy between 90-100 knots cruise, cruise descent deadside and cruise speed downwind, and slow down on base, also depends on whats in front of you, vary speed and track to fit in.
ps , smarthawke, whats the best glide speed of an RV-6.
