From Bob Erb-bserbjr(at)aol.com (Erb-bserbjr(at)aol.com)
Subject- Sport pilot test

I have built and am flying a Firestar II with a Rotax 503. I have been preparing for the Sport pilot exam and feel comfortable with all the maneuvers except the forward slip to a landing.
Is it possible to perform this maneuver the correct way in a Firestar? Every time I try it, the plane turns in the direction of the aileron input, the nose wants to come up, not enough down to push the nose down and the plane makes a funny noise like the ailerons are fluttering but they are not. There does not seem to be enough rudder authority to straighten the flight path. Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong or should I tell the examiner the plane is not designed to do forward slips. I have recently had 15 hours of flight training in a Champ in preparation for the exam and I have no problems Forward slipping that plane. Thanks for the help-Bob
