always a good idea


Of course if you are really good, and are flying a real airplane, to hell with
the flaps. Slip it in. Can always "unslip," you know, but "unflapping" is
looking for trouble.

How effective a slip is depends on what how much rudder you have and how big
the sides of your aircraft is. A lot of go fast planes and high performance
gliders don't get too much drag out of a slip.
