Default Flat Spin

I'm surprised this spin thread hasn't produced more discussion of the flat
spin. One poster told us about getting into a flat spin after several
revolutions of a "normal" spin" at Minden when the Puch went flat (nose on
horizon). The poster thought it was kind of thrilling, until he applied spin
recovery controls (opposite rudder & forward stick) The Puch continued to flat
spin for another 5 or 6 revolutions. This spin started at 12,000 feet. Had it
been initiated at a much lower altitude, we might be investigating yet another
Puch-in. Has anyone else had the Puch go into a flat spin?

Perhaps those who have are no longer with us?
