120 on downwind!!!
You're about 40 mph faster than you should be. It's no wonder you cannot
get slowed down! You should be no more than 85 MPH by the time you enter
the pattern. If you want to bleed speed, slip it and don't let the
airspeed increase when you kick it straight.
Forget about the prop until short final. If you are below 1600 RPM at
15" MP, you are probably below the minimum governor speed
