im surprised that this has not been mentioned before, but the use of trim to keep you on a stabalized approach will do wonders for maintaining airspeed. remember your trimming the airplane for an airspeed therefore if you are trimmed for 63kts (like said get it close dont worry right now with exact) the airplane will seek to hold that airspeed itself or with very little help from you. it is quite possible to fly an airplane down the glide path at approach speed and land without ever touching the yoke, simply using trim. so to sum it all up the little trim wheel is there for a reason so use it as much as you can. im not saying to fly with the trim but dont fly an airplane thats not properly trimmed
