10% above the stall is NOT excessive at all. Better that than a stall either
on the turn to final or the approach itself.

I think the rule of thumb is 1.3 X stall for approach speed. 50 mph
stall would be 65 mph approach. My heavy KR with a short wing is
comfortable at 80 mph over the numbers with full speed brake down. For
an idea of how it settles on from there go to

That might seem a little fast for most KR's but with all that drag it
settles pretty quick below that speed. Each KR will be a bit different,
i.e., less weight, longer wings, more or less drag.
