David - Looks pretty much to my numbers, including the same version of yours I flew years back, adjusted for a non STOL. Without an AOA indicator I allow additional airspeed for higher weight, DA, etc. If I have a steady head wind component I will use GPS ground speed as indicator to my airspeed. Aspen systems are real nice in this, indication to what the airplane is telling me through controls as I fly to touch down spot. I "taught" no-flap short field landing in a number of frames. One of toughest to make work was your version of Skymaster with wing-tip tanks in a cross-wind condition to a short field and no other options. If I could work it down controlled to the point in No-Flap cross-wind approach at min speed felt I had a better, controlled touchdown and set down, often 1-2-3 on gear - with sufficient clearance on the tips. Crabbed landings not my favorite and often to much strain for the mission load I was flying for the gear. Had plenty of folks disagree.
