Yep, that's what they tell you to do, and it's good practice.  But it can
and is done regularly.  Here's a video of Scott Swing slipping the crap out
of our XL/FG when we still had the fixed pitch Catto prop on her, as he was
waaaaay high on final (he'd never flown a fixed-pitch XL before).  He does
an awesome job of getting it right to the runway.

Ron (and John A.)
I was told to NOT slip my XLFG, nor the company trainer. I was to use the
board only. I was quite disappointed at this for I used to routinely slip
my Long EZ in on base to final and on final.

I thought about doing with out the transition training but   oh so glad I
did get it  . John is a great teacher.
Ask him to slip the plane in  what a ride I do not   want to do that again.
Was safe but man does the plane drop like a   rock.

92 VA flies very well but    watch John! He puts the speed brake down on
walk around ,to show it to you    ,but doesn't put it back up! There is no
indicator    in the cockpit and ,yours truly, took off with it
down......lesson learned    John,
