This is all good stuff, and no one has asked if it's legal, which makes it even better. Bit disappointed that we didn't get on to cup holders, but you can't have everything. Mmmmmmmm, side-slipping...yesss. Could be a life-saver, I reckon, if trying to force land, with or without flaps. When I last did a PFL in a Bulldog, I ended up rather too high on final (those who have flown the lead-lined sack of heavy things that this aircraft becomes without power may share my surprise at this), but a bit of side slipping sorted that out.
