Sounds like my Technic is completely wrong, or completely different. When I have the numbers in my strut V on downwind I cut power. Completely. Put in One notch of flaps and set trim at 80 . One more notch of flaps on base brings me to 70 . By the time Im over the fence Im at 60-65 . Then I try to make my spot without adding any power. Sometimes I may have to kick it back up to 1200. Full Flaps and sometimes I even have to slip at that .
