I never look at rpm.  I was taught at the factory check ride to set up
with 90 kn and 500 fpm decent when abeam the numbers.  I gradually work
the speed down so I'm at 70-75 kn on short final depending on the load. 
After over 300 hours of flying I often just go straight in and eyeball
it.

I did a number of T & G's this past weekend, and found I was still
searching a bit for power settings at various stages for a good
stabilized approach and landing.  I thought it might be helpful to see
what others have determined.  I realize the it will vary from case to
case and different prop dia and pitch; but  - typical for an SE RG with
fixed pitch prop:

Rpm for downwind, after pulling some power before turn to base, on base,
on final??? 

Thanks. 

Oh, yeah.  755V with 20B is flying again, and better than before.
