I really think that a flare to a safe landing from even 1300 fpm would be challenging
The Pitts I used to fly regularly comes down at about 2000 fpm power off, which is how I was taught to land it. Yes, it is. You have about a 0.25 second window to flare if you don't want either to hit the ground very hard, or flare too high, stall, and hit the ground very hard. The poor instructor, who has to give the student time to make mistakes, has maybe 0.1S to decide whether to intervene. My instructor, who had been a U2 pilot and knows a thing or two about planes which are difficult to land, says that of all the things in instructing, the one he hates the most is teaching people to land the Pitts. (The Extra 300, by contrast, is a complete pussycat, and not much harder to land than a Citabria).
One advantage of having done it is that it makes uatos seem pretty tame!
