Why don’t you assist the people you worry about by telling them who the trolls are.
Well back in this thread, I mentioned the potential importance of using a slip(yes it is a forward slip) when appropriate..
I was well aware that there are occasional rare cases of aircraft types that one wants to avoid using this procedure(such as the C170B with ‘barn door’ flaps), a type I used to fly. That is why I stated in that post “if safe to do so in aircraft type”, which in my opinion would be most of the light single engine propeller types(and the 767-200 for those who know the story).
You may have to dig around to find out how a particular type behaves. A type club can be very useful as that is where I learned about C170B handling characteristics in a slip, which can be deadly due to stalling the horizontal stab.
