Those are just about the numbers I use, and they work well for the RG.

17-18" @ 2100 rpms, 100 entering downwind, drop the gear, and 10 degrees of
flaps. If you do them both at once, no need to re trim and it will slow you
to 90, GUMPS, remember, you can look out the window and see at least one
wheel down

abeam reduce power, 14"-15", as it slows the prop can come in all the way

1500 rpms on base should give you about 80kts, flaps go to 20, GUMPS

30 degrees of flaps and 70 on final, 40 degrees if you need to drop in
steep, GUMPS

55-60 over the numbers works well

If heavy, add just a little power to arrest your sink rate as you level over
the runway, keep pulling the yoke back until it's burried in your stomach,
it's nose is a lot heavier than a 172's and as your speed slows, you really
loose elevator if you don't keep pulling.

There is NO NEED to try to land this plane fast!!! Read the POH and do some
slow flight with an instructor, you'll see it will fly with everything
hanging out at 37 knots!!!! THIRTY SEVEN!! Don't try to land it at 80
