Ah, I think we have the source, of misunderstanding, Mr Shortstripper. I was intending to convey the possibility of a spin in sideslip if the speed reduced and reached the (slightly increased) stall speed. I think you were reading it as an entry into spin as per the spinning exercise - at a high stall speed caused by pulling full elevator. In a sideslip if you keep the speed at normal approacjh speed or above, then you will keep flying. The danger is in an unreliable ASI and in allowing distraction and a low initial speed to bring the aircraft to the stall, hence my warning (remember I am telling people, not demonstrating this with me to keep a student out of trouble) to keep speed up. Wouldn't want to tempt any of our friends here into lethal situations
