OTOH, If you are high and you try a forward slip, it just laughs at you. No flap landings are the most challanging manuver in that plane. Realize that it's a motor glider with short wings, and a bigger engine.

So true...that and it took me a little while to learn how to make my spot during a power off landing because it glides TOO well and as you mentioned the slip doesn't do anything. I think it might actually be more aerodynamic sideways :-P
