Hello All,

As  I understand it rudder authority is the limiting factor in slips.
Perhaps the increased blanketing at forty degrees reduces this authority so
that your rate of descent is less than at thirty degrees. The crankshaft is
out of my 150 at this time or I would go out and try a few slips, recording
angle of bank, rate of descent and airspeed at various flap settings. Also
left rudder slips should be more effective due to slipstream effect. I have
found this through some fairly extensive flight testing.
Also I flew the initial flight test on a friends Glastar last year and they
will fly sideways.

Cheers,
John
