Raising the flaps totally makes sense, I shoulda thought of that

I usually can't land that slow, I use an old sixaxis and the left stick won't center, so there's no deadzone at all. can't hold the plane steady enough when a slight movement can cause a stall. Most planes I have to touch down at about 170-180. I'm gonna get a DS3 as soon as I can find one for a good price
when using wireless controller layout with the control pad, u can apply brake by holding the R stick all the way back. this kinda sux tho cause i usually fly with the aviator layout so i have to switch between layout if i want to land.

so keep throttle above or at zero until u hit 100, and then full brake on and dont touch the elevator, just let the back wheel touchdown by itself

And for low landing speed, try n use ur landing flaps (duh) and trim as much as u can during approach, at some point if ur lined up ok, u wont need any stick input and will control the rate of descent with the throttle only.
