Default Glide ratio with full brakes and side slip

Jim are you hard slipping, meaning using all of your available rudder? Lots of guys don't realky rack it in there and consequently are not getting much drag effect from the fuselage. I had the oportunity to fly an early 20 and while not earth shattering, she would come down pretty good with a hard slip.
