Sure there are glitches in the code. Being retired from the software and computer industries, I can safely say that there is NO code, in any genre of coding that does not have bugs and glitches.. Mainly because there are ussally many developers invoved in a single project, so once each one get's their part of the code finished, even if it were perfect (which is not likly) then you have to get each facett of it from each developer to work together as tho it is all one flawless string of code. Not gonna happen, even though sometimes it is better than others.. Anyway.. I think they are working on many of the bigger issues, and even with it's flaw, this is by far the best title for the game consoles for this type of play.
That said.. I have seen, and heard many complain about flipping like that.. One thing I suggest, to all that this has happened to (myself included), even though you "think" you may have made a perfect landing, it isn't over until you get stopped. When are flying at a certain speed, and touch ground, you are rolling on two wheels apposed of each other, NOT in line. So, your pivot point and ballance on that point has a small margin of error. You have momentum that is wanting to keep you on your mobile path, even when you apply the brakes. If you apply the brakes too fast, you will pivot forward (nose down) on that pivot point (your wheel location). The momentum is going to toss your center of gravity forward. So, to remedy that, you need to change your center of gravity aft (backwards) to counter that momentum. If you do not, you will end up on your nose every time. The only way to change your center of gravity, is to give yourself a nose up attitude to counter that natual nose down. Hence, get your tail down.. When landing, once you get landed, give your elevator some nose up. If you are going slow enough you should stay on the ground, but it will force your tail down, countering that nose down action it natually wants to do when you apply the brakes...
And example. Assuming you can ride a uni cycle. Or better yet, one of those powered two wheelers you stand up on (cant remember what they are called). What do you think if you try to stop one suddenly? You will do a face plant.. To keep that from happening, you need to lean back to counter that action. Just like the airplane is going to try to face plant unless you do something to "lean back" or lower the tail to change your center of gravity.
I may have way over explained that, but I hope you get the point.. And hope it might help you in your landings..
