Sideslip on a Cessna with full flaps is only a good idea if you're not the owner of the airplane. On some models it's not allowed, on others not recommended. In any case it is not good for your flaps.
Not that old chestnut again!


As for the OP, depends how confident you are chucking the aircraft around at low level, personally I'd happily throw some S-turns or a big boot of sideslip but even so there is a point where its beyond recovery and a go-around is in order....

Sopey, if you think ZV drops like a brick with full flaps you want to try a Tri Pacer witht the power off and on the draggy end of the curve....its something to behold! Great fun though!
