The aircraft slips fine, most canard "experts" will tell you that you can
stall a winglet or that it will come off or that you can stall the main
wing. If you look back through the Reflector I think I wrote a thing on
this a year ago or so when it came up with how to do it. I have slipped
many of these and have had no issues. I can't speak for the EZ or Cozy
people, (maybe that's why the bow down to the Velocity), just my experience.

Mark,
I seem to recall John talking about slips and speaking that they were ok.
I'm not sure though. Maybe John, if you're monitoring you can chime in?

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

getting ready to go meet John at Sebastian Municipal for transitional
training. Wow, I have comptemplated this time for years and now it's here. I
hope I do ok with the center stick and left throttle. My bird has yokes and
a center throttle.
This is exciting.
