Commander Test Flight #2

It's raining at Cape Girardeau, but the visibility wasn't an issue, at least not for touch-and-go practice right at the airport. I did two landings, but while I'm centering up well and landing at the right distance down the runway, I'm also landing too nose-high and too slow:
Landing speed is supposed to be 80 knots, but I'm approaching at that speed and then nosing up to slow down even more. I need to come in at 90-100 knots probably, and not nose up so much. I'm risking a stall before touch-down, broken landing gear, etc. Would not want to do that to the new plane!
