Good grief man, "took a bit to slow below 90"?
What speed are you turning final and or crossing the approach fence?
I have 2000 feet of turf, between a field and a ditch, to land and get stopped
in Roy's airplane!

When I use the speed brake I fly patterns down wind at 120 MPH, base at
110, throw out the speed brake and slow to 90 mph turning base to final,
then cross the numbers at 80 mph indicated. With a reasonable attempt I
can land on hard surface and do a 180 for taxi back in 1700 feet without
overly excessive braking. With no speed brake drag it is a different
airplane and to slow to 80 indicated it seems nose high and mushy. I
don't have the longer 2S wing (actually 8" shorter than a standard 2
wing) and my bird is heavy at 765 empty (probably heavier now days) , so
with me at 220 pounds and 25 gallon of fuel when full I'm flying at 1135
pounds gross. Most of my landings are made at 1050 pounds. When I land
on grass I use probably 1500 feet. Great flying airplane, I just have
to respect the heavy weight and short wing. Approaching the 800 hour
mark and I'm still getting the KR grin.
