Would you care to elaborate?

Forward slips with full flaps in the middle of the white arc at altitude produced noticible pitch control buffet C enough so that I never tried it near the ground. With as much drag as those big barn door flaps at 40 degrees produced C slips really were not necessary. Yank up on the handle C hold up the nose until the airspeed got near the bottom of the white arc and then just let her come down. The sink rate was truly impressive.
