Hey George,
 
I disagree completely with your landing=20 technique...I bring it to 1/16 inch before it quits flying! =20 ;-)

Over the years I have made it a practi= ce to turn=20 base with half flap and 100 kts. or so, then turning final at roughly 90 to= 95=20 kts.  When I have the runway made down comes full flap, ease the power= and=20 start the flair so that at 1/8 inch off the runway the airplane stops flyin= g and=20 squeeks on.  My stall speed with gear and half flap is in the low 60's= but=20 I don't like to get near that speed.  I suppose it is my old Navy habi= ts=20 but I keep it close in on the downwind and base.  There is no sense to= =20 being wide abeam and strung out on a long final.
 
On take off I keep the nose down and c= leaned up I'm=20 near 135 to 140 kts by the end of the runway (5000"), the up and off I=20 go.
