Nice story. Yesterday I flew the Cub after a four-week layoff
(weather) so worked on t.o. & landings. For some reason I was always
high / close-in on final, so I did a lot of slipping.

Indeed, I had the feeling that I controlled the plane in all three
dimensions, and could have planted it anywhere within a 200-foot
square at the south end of the runway. And I was starting from say 600
feet.
