Same happens in powered a/c

You need back stick, and sometimes lots of it, when sideslipping powered aircraft, not just a function of a glider. Especially noticeable in Cubs, Pitts, Extra etc.

Also more back stick is needed on some a/c as the tailplane gets blanked and its effectiveness is reduced while slipping.
