I would frequently slip the 685 in any flap configuration. ATC always treated me like a turbine and gave rapid descents from the Flight levels leaving me to scurry to get down to initial approach altitudes and speeds.
At all flap and gear configurations I had good control and good rudder authority.
Even went high once and pulled back into a flaps down stall while slipping. The plane recovered itself. Nothing squirrly.
Both airspeed indicators (pitots R & L) always registered the same no matter the direction of slip. I tried to avoid slips on final approach as I have absolutely no idea how it would behave if you lost an engine so close to VMC and dirty. Never had the balls to pull an engine while slow and doing a slip. Did this once in a 310 and ended up on my back with a helluva sink rate. The thought of 9000 pounds on it's back and slow was just more than I could stomach.
During rapid descents I would also pull the props back to 1500-1600 RPM and keep MP up to whatever was needed to keep the engine loading the prop.
Many "geared engine gurus" advised against this but questioning them usually revealed that their experience in geared engines was obtained flying coffee mugs in hangars with other coffee mug experts.
I am also not a believer in shock cooling and never experienced it on the engine monitors when pulling power at altitude. Especially when running LOP. I saw much more rapid cooling in cruise when plowing through heavy rain than with rapid or prolonged power reductions.
