as far as speeds go, i don't see a problem with slipping anywhere in the green or in the top of the white for that matter. bearing in mind your vfe limitations, the asi is reading lower than your actual airspeed anyways because of the reduced ram air. the fuel selector should be on both or the wing that is higher of the two so that the fuel port in the tanks does not become uncovered which is more of a problem in pipers (not that they slip very well anyways).

as for the advice to

this might be an interesting proposition with a strong left xwnd on appr, i'd opt for wing down on the upwind side. jmho
