Default About forward slips

Do that in a Tcraft or a Cessna 170 and you will be on your back before
you can stop your eyeballs on the horizon. It is called a snap- (or
flick-) roll. If you do not know how to fly inverted or recover from
inverted spins, you don't want to explore the possibility.


The first time I slipped my Sundowner as a student, we got a buffet
which instantly got my instructor's attention. It needs decent down
elevator in with the crossed controls.

I'm thankful we weren't in a Tcraft or C170. G
