I tend to land WWII fighter aircraft in a much steeper descent then say, a Cessna 172 or the like. After looking over the airfield to determine where I would like to land (some fields are just that, fields, and you can land anywhere inside the base area) and position myself on the downwind leg. My pattern is short and steep, allowing me to have throttle to zero for the most part until I drop gear and a notch of flaps on base, then get my power up to around 30% and another notch of flaps on final. By then I am just 30 seconds or so from 'crossing the fence' and can lower full landing flaps and touch down.
