How do you end up doing your de-orbit burn?

I was testing out de-orbiting with my little shuttle craft:

Was able to land at KSC from an orbit of 80km with my initial periapsis at 43.6km above KSC.

From a 150k circular orbit, I burned retrograde about 45 degrees before KSC so my PE would be about 5km above KSC, this shuttle lets me turn around if I overshoot or I can glide forward if I undershoot the landing area.
