What I have found to be the best technique in the Helio at about 3100lbs is
to slow way down to about 45kts. This will yeild about 500fpm with 11"MP
which is a steep descent. When I am about 200AGL, I increase speed to 55kts
to provide energy for the flair. You can brake as hard as possible with the
Helio and there is no chance of it nosing over because the gear is so far
forward.

If you're going to end up at 55 on the bottom end why slow to 45?
