I use almost the exact same procedure when landing on an aircraft carrier... trim the aircraft for a specific AOA (8.1 degrees in my case) and then use the throttle to control altitude/glide path. Only difference is I don't flare. Oh, and I got full power at touch down rather than cut the throttle.
On the little 17 gram Vapor - we use exactly same technique
reduce power add AOA till the model is in very slow forward flight and very high AOA- I can land the model -in a room on a smooth 30" dia table
