sssssssideslip
Hi HP,
Apologies, I thought you knew who Airbedane was - we had the conversation on it over dinner a few months ago. (I've left a note on your mobile).
We've already had the discussion on sideslips, too, and I already knew your views, but I was hoping to get some support to convince you that they were a good and safe thing to do in context.
Maybe I'm wrong to so do, and maybe I'm right. The reason was that when I FL'd a maggie, I had too much height over the fence and landed long on the strip - I wasn't the only person to discover that day that the flaps don't work without the engine. I didn't sideslip, and for the life of me, I don't know why...........
I'd still be interested in other pilot's thoughts - there must be some Maggie pilot's out there with a view on the subject??

PS Fly together? - we already did; it was a great pleasure, and I'm sure we'll do it again in the near future.
