Does anybody out there with a Kolb do slipping turns from downwind to landing?  I was doing them in a j-3 and want to try it in my firestar but a friend of mine didn't think it was a wise thing to do, or to be a legitimate maneuver. any feedback appreciated.

I always do a high short approach and slip a good bit but not in turns. I like my turns coordinated but once on final I slip with full flaps to get down really fast. Of course the Slingshot with short wings, full flaps, and idle power sinks pretty fast without slipping.

I'm not sure why your friend thinks a slipping turn is illegitimate, but a slipping turn is only, after all, a badly coordinated turn. I've been known to make badly coordinated turns to the left or right even when I'm not on approach. :-} About the only caveat I can think of is that your ASI might read a little off with the pitot oblique to the airstream, but that can be handled by keeping the nose a little lower than you would for a yaw string centered turn.

I have a fs 11 and slip on final, slip anywhere in the patten to lose altitude.  The Fs II handles fine in either direction.  Like Rick said, keep the nose down to keep airspeed up or you will stall one wing.
