Stall speed in an established slip

[shortstripper]

Hi Pirke,

It's actually not easy to spin from a slip if that's what you were implying?

The upper wing will generally stall before the lower but will induce corrective yaw by doing so and pull you out of the slip and full stall unless you are really ham fisted. I'm rubbish at explaining this but try it sometime. A skid is a very different beast and will spin you at the drop of a hat!

Once learned and ingrained, slipping becomes instinctive and very intuitive as you get to just know by feel how much back pressure is required and the natural buffeting created by the airflow disruption gives you a good idea of speed / AoA

The first bit of what you write is interesting. When on the point of stalling, almost any control imput could tip you over the edge and possibly into a spin and so you are correct. However, when already established in a slip it changes the dynamic completely and with a few caveats is a very safe manoeuvre.
