I have about 400 hours in my Lancair 360 now and have flown it in a wide variety of flight conditions. It's incredibly versatile. You can enter the pattern at 120-180kts and get the job done. It's predictable and gives you a wide range of choices.
As for the power off handling, I have done maybe 15 power off landings in the pattern and maybe 3 of them from 3000ft AGL. No need to slip...just use the prop. When you need to lose energy, push the prop forward. Need to glide like crazy? Prop all the way back.
I operate at N07, a field with a 2100x40 rwy when rwy 1 is in use (800 displaced threshold). I've landed it at Andover (1920ft) several times. I also operate it at N07 at night.
Speed on final is 80kts at typical weight, smooth conditions, touchdown just about 60kias (based on watching videos back).
Toughest part is energy management. Gear extension speed is 120kts, but cruise is around 170kias. So, if you're high and fast, you can't drop the gear to get some help. You have to power back, level off, let it get above glideslope (knowing you can catch up later), get to 120kias, gear....approach flap....then 100kts for max flap extension. Congratulations, you're now gliding like a grand piano. I see 2000+ fpm descent at 90kias at idle with prop forward and everything hanging out.
That is a very steep descent gradient that will fix all but the worst of approaches. It's steeper than a 172 can muster, if memory serves.
Visibility is amazing. That's the thing about the Glasair I didn't like...the center pillar.
Here's a compilation of the landings I captured on video during the first 6-9 months of operating the aircraft. Sorry about the horrible windshield in the first few, took a while for it to dawn on me that it was my job to clean it

First few landings have the original ASI, which was in mph and only had a few markings. It was horrible.
