Default Climbing Flat Spin?

I am flying an Aces 1 profile edge 540. Last saturday I was getting lower and lower on the positive flatspin, breaking out at less than 6 feet comfortably. I figured what the heck--try the landing--so this time, with a light breeze right down the runway, I spun down to 2 feet, pulled it out, (into the wind) chopped the throttle and to my amazement, I greased it. Couldnt believe it. I did 6 more on sunday. It is more difficult with no wind at all, requires even more throttle management.... but--I am no hotshot...cant tail-touch yet--too risky for me--but the landing is very do-able with little risk to the plane, largely due to the planes zero recovery time.. Just make sure that its really FLAT FLAT and not wobbly before you commit. If one wing is down too much dont do it. This week I am going to try to get it on video...wish me luck!!
