Flat spin and a wing stall is not the same thing. You enter into a flat spin in many cases by loosing all air speed and having no wing lift on both wings. Then, you simply start to fall right out of the sky. if you are turning or in a roll, and loose lift on one wing before the other completely, then you simply go into a stall spin. and start to spiral down. A flat spin, bottom line is, you need to get your air speed back however you can. Full power (after you get your nose down), and get the nose down so you can get the air flowing back over the wing foils to create lift again. If you can rudder to get your plane into a roll, it will cause your nose to drop too. Aileron won't work at all for the roll, simply because they will do nothing if you do not have air movement across the wings. Elevator down, and full rudder will in most cases will give you some roll, and nose down. Sometimes, I shut my motor to zero percent at first, because power to the props will natually try to pull your nose up. So, cutting it to zero at first, full rudder and elevator down will get your nose down. Once you have nose down, get back on the power and drive to the ground until your airspeed is up again, and you have your aileron control back.. Hopefully, you don't hit the ground before that happens though.. lol..
