Every time I try this (I've discovered the landing speed and glide angle you suggest through numerous trial and error) I always flip the plane, or tear off a wing, or worse. I know any crash landing you can walk away from is good, but I'd like to keep the plane intact for movie making purposes.
make sure you aproach around 210km/h and a very flat angle. I find it pretty easy actually to land in the grass area next to the concrete strips.
I'll practice some more...
