JoePilot, you obviously know your way around the Robbo. However, if the POH says "no sideslips" then performing one will definitely place you outside the FAA sactioned limitations.
You obviously have passionate views, but please do not allow this to drag you down to the kind of name calling we have seen so much of on Bill's forum. Let's please stick with the merits of the argument, no matter how frustrated you might feel at not being able to convince the Cat of your viewpoint. He must feel just as frustrated, if not more so, but I have never seen him get personal.
I think you will do a far better job at preserving the gist of your argument than I would. So please go back and edit the personal attacks out of your post of 03:14 yourself.
For the rest of us this is an educating and at times amusing debate between two passionate believers. Please let's keep it that way.
Don't let Lu or any of us get under your skin. You're to good for that.
