Traffic pattern in a Hershy Bar Cherokee

[macpilot]

typicaly cherokees require a little bit more power on landing than a 172 because it low wing. I forgot what power setting I used but abeam the tuchdown point I could set my power and leave it and first notch of flaps do the gumps and carb heat check, 2nd notch on base and final flaps just as I turned final approach. I think 70-80 knots was a good speed.
