I reached for the flap lever again
Ah, Kevmusic, flaps are a bit one way. Sideslip, dear boy. You can vary the angle and come back to wings level if it looks like overcooking. Gliders have airbrakes, remember, in and out like a throttle (bet you thought I was going to say something else there)
And a slipping turn and a fishtail if you are _really_ high.
Happy pilot here who has a day's initiation flights lined up at our open day tommorrow, so I get to fly the aeroplane instead of watching my rather capable students have all the fun.
