But a very aggessive side slip tend to be uncomfortable for passengers.
when I was slipping off the 1500ft my brother was the pax. he has had
a lifetime in the airforce so is quite familiar with aeroplanes and
flight.
at about the 500ft mark I glanced over at him and to my surprise his
entire brow and top lip had huge beads of perspiration.
nothing I said could relax him.
it was only during the normal roundout at the end did he finally
relax.
Wittman Tailwinds, with their square cross section fuselages, are
absolutely ace aircraft for slipping.
