Re: Slip Speeds
Dustin I really appreciate you thinking on this and the time your taking to explain your methods.
I do have AOA and I certainly use it in all cases to make sure I still have lift available, although I imagine like airspeed it is less reliable in a slip when the wing shadowed by the fuselage no?
I have noticed when I slip, if I keep my airspeed consistent to a normal approach (50-55) which seems to be a similar sight picture angle, When I remove the slip at around 10ft I find I seem to have even more energy causing my float to extend. Im also at idle.
Its interesting to fly with my friends (in a pacer and a clipper) and watch them come over obstacles, they drop like rocks! Almost vertical. The kitfox glide puts me at least a couple hundred feet past their touchdown (without a slip). Hence why I want to get better at slips.
