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.
Max demonstrated crosswind is 20

If your the rudder pedal is not on the floor and the stick shoved forward the 20 is not slipping. Once those control inputs are there, then it slips like a champ.
