Mike, Dave, Colin, thank you for your answers. A very interesting discussion.
They all seem to go in the same direction: Get an instructor that teaches you spins.
But I forgot to mention that I am only ... 70% of a pilot. My pilot license and aircraft registration is under the European Ultralight (a.k.a. microlight) rule. I say 70% because our theory knowledge requirement is about 70% of the PPL books. We don't need altitude medicine or DME/VOR/NDB navigation. But, e.g. meteorology is the same since the met office won't give us ... micro weather! 
Anyway, the Norwegian Ultralight class says: No bank over 60 degrees, no pitch over +/- 30 degrees, no stall at any cost, no flight over the water more than 10 km and hardtop helmets are compulsory.
Furthermore, as Graeme says (BTW, congrats on the beautiful plane, I like your ply/epoxy luggage box) ... isn't spins illegal with our planes?
My original question was:
When I told my son that we should practice dead-stick precision landing, eventually using side-slip to land on the mark, he asked: "Is it safe?"
I then decided to ask the question to the list because, even if I read somewhere that a stall in a slip was less dangerous than in a skid, I value a second opinion from its experienced members.
Cheers,
Michel
