I did slip the SHK and can't remember anything too disconcerting but
ruddeer forces needed to be quite high. Of course there's always the tail
chute too.

As Bruce says, its easy to do a full deflection, full-brake slip in a Std

Libelle. This turns it into quite a satisfactory brick and compensates
nicely for its rather weak brakes if you're a bit high on finals or at a
field, such as Borders, that needs a higher descent rate.

How vigorously can you slip an SHK?

I ask because I've seen a comment that applying full rudder in an SH
affected its pitch trim. I've heard that many V-tail control systems may
limit the available deflections if deflections on more than one axis are
used and am wondering if that limits slipping in an SHK. Disclaimer:
I've never flown anything with a V tail.
