Stall speed in an established slip

[Miserlou]

Slam,
Apology accepted but……
What you say about flying higher speed, although theoretically correct, requires a greater horizontal distance where you are already 'too close' ('too high' equals 'too close') and has a much less significant effect than slipping.

I still don't see what's wrong with doing the whole process at the correct speed.

Happiness is……

ending the final turn in a side slip and straightening up in the flare to a 3 pointer!
