Never tried that after an engine failure or voluntarily shutting down the engine , , but I can confirm ,with engine idle, full flaps keep stick full back it does that .. normal Russian Very Short field landing technique in fact for the An2.
But the SOCATA Morane Rallye , also equipped with auto aerodynamic extension slats does roughly the same only much faster ( 90 Km/h ) against the An2 (50 Km/h) .but the rate of descent for both in this mode is roughly the same at around 1000-1200 ft/min ..not a smooth touch down , but you'll survive..
