MY thoughts EXACTLY, Jason. When I was taking flight instruction years ago, I was on final once "way too high"!! At my present approach, there was just NO way I was going to be able to land. I was not sure what to do, so my instructor said "Here, try this!!", and proceeded to push the nose forward and decend immediately!! In a matter of about 4 seconds I was on a perfect glidepath to land.
That moment was very inspirational to me. It was the time when I finally realized it was supposed to be me that was controlling the airplane, and not the other way around. With hundreds of hours of experience now, I have come to enjoy flying "my way" (the safe way).

Funny how so few people realize that the way to get on the right glide slope is to fly up/down to it immediately.
An idling prop is a surprisingly effective airbrake, and Kolbs are draggy enough to go where you want them to with to much braking on the ground.
