Thing,
Sorry to drag this back 4 pages, but - isn't the difference between the Warrior and Arrow that the former has the tapered wing, and the latter the old slab/Hershey bar? In which case the low speed behaviour in ground effect is very different. The latter has far more drag and is better at short fields, but can bite you if mishandled; the tapered wing is more forgiving but floats more.
With the slab wing I do tend to keep power on longer, though I'm with Chuck on the need to be ABLE to land without it. (Who am I to argue with a legend anyway?!)
