I have been talking to Richard and Bungle about this single double flat 
spin lark and we too agreed that a single was indeed 540 degrees. 

Some people are apparently calling the first and only 180 degrees a flat 
spin, surely this is merely turning the kite round and not a flat spin at 
all !

Watching Bungle yesterday he was doing genuine (900 degree) flat spins 
with a single pop.
