Default RE: Zero speed landing possible ?

I have done a zero airspeed landing with a 88" wingspan Yak 54. I'm sure many 3d pilots have done this as well. With a little wind, point the aircraft into the wind and do the elevator maneuver. Full up elevator all the way to the ground right before it hits add a burst of power and ease up on the elevator a little. The landing is a little tail first and mains can hit a little hard.
