Thats it Pogs!

I remember now. Yes, I was once told that "take two blows of full trim" . I also remember being told to try to maintain height when reducing the power, allowing the speed to fall quickly before two stages of flap then setting the attitude. Oh, regarding Rate of descent. Is it correct that roughly speaking, 100rpm reduction loses 100 f/min?

Thanks guys.

By the way, speeds I mentioned are in Knots. I do remember that when I learned to fly on that aircraft 5 years ago we approached at 60KTS and cruised at 80KTS. Maybe just fuel economy!
