Top posting idiot. If you have no interest in actually discussing aviation,
go elsewhere. Or, at least, thank the other poster for correcting your
misinformation for the benefit of others who might be learning. (Hopefully
more successfully than you.)

In theory of course. In the case of the 172 with 40 degrees of flaps they
contribute more drag than lift.


In practice too. The relative amounts of drag and lift are irrelevant to
the fact that using the flaps lowers the stall speed, and that doing so
does not make it any easier "to end up real slow in a slip".

Your assertion that "With full flaps its easy to end up real slow in a
slip and approach a stall" is just plain nonsense, and certainly has
nothing to do with the *warning* (not prohibition) against slipping
while flaps are extended (even if there were something to your claim
about flaps making it easier to stall).
