Default Slips in turns and landing with winglets

This keeps coming up and seems to be generally believed, particularly when it is accompanied by a nice diagram where invariably the scale of the glider and the circle is utterly mismatched. If you do the calculations for average circle the resultent angular dis placement is about one and a half degrees. I am sure I cannot discern that in the fluttering string. Perhaps others can

Cheers

Paul
