Well put....

I've been flying bipes a little while now and it seems that just about any Ultimate does gyroscopic maneuvers very well. Basically if the maneuver requires spinning around the CG, then a Ultimate does it very well (read that as very tight and fast)

I remember doing my first inverted flat spin on a YS110 powered CG Ultimate. It seemed like I could flat spin forever and if I got it just right with the power and ailerons I could even get it to stop dropping. I could even get the spin very slow, but then the plane would drop like a rock

My 30% Ultimate will slowly climb in an inverted flat spin. It's a bit tricky but it will do it and remain fairly flat. KE spins and waterfalls are a blast and will scare the pants off of you at first as you will think you are going to pull the wings off.

So what it seems to boil down to, at least to me is this:

Short tail moment planes need good power and decent throw for nice spin maneuvers
Long tail moment planes need lots of power and throw for nice spin maneuvers

I could be wrong and please correct me if I am....

Here is a good example of an Ultimate doing some spinning maneuvers. It is not me but about 2/3rd into the video, you will see this thing wind up into a flat spin after passing through a KE spin and it's obvious they are impressed and a bit scared as he pulls it out fairly quickly
