To eliminate pilots bending the sheet metal, it is usually recommended
that slips in the 51 end at or above 200 feet AGL.


That was kind of my question, which I probably phrased poorly, that is,
wouldn't the laminar wing give significantly less warning pre-departure
compared with, oh, say, a Stearman, which lots of the WWII guys learned
to slip in? I believe you said that you'd done slips in a Mustang,
which shows it *can* be slipped, and suggests that the warning may be
more cautionary than indicative of a technical difficulty.

Best regards,

John Miller, who doesn't like to do slips in ANY aircraft below 200'
AGL, actually...
